I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to participate in the 2005 CCR - I've signed up for the last two and haven't made it for a variety of reasons. I'm goofing off today and considering signing up and I see the waiver. This paragraph in particular:
In reply to:
I understand and EXPRESSLY ASSUME all the dangers incident to participating in this CCR event and hereby RELEASE ALL CLAIMS, including but not limited to, personal injury, property damage or destruction, and death, whether caused by NEGLIGENCE, breach of contract or otherwise, and whether for bodily injury, property damage or loss or otherwise, which I may ever have against the CCR, any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, volunteers, assigns, or successors and any other person or entity who is a participant in or promoter of this event as well as any supplier of materials and equipment employed in connection with my participation in the event;
I don't really have a problem indemnifying the event officers, directors, employees, etc., but I do kind of have a big problem doing the same for "...any other person or entity who is a participant in...". This seems to mean that we all agree that we won't sue anybody who happens to be participating in the event for whatever reason. Now I'm not really a sue-happy fool, but this waiver could mean that some other participant could get drunked up and slam into me causing thousands of dollars worth of bike and medical damage and I've signed a waivier saying I won't go after him.
I have a bit of a problem with this. Standard boilerplate and all that, I know. But does it feel right?
