You know what, Craig?  I like you.  You’re not like the other people here at the trailer park.

The litigiousness(sp?) of our society never ceases to amaze or disgust me.  If you take a risk to have some fun, be responsible for your own injuries.  If you go skydiving and end up as road pizza because your chute didn’t open or got tangled, who’s responsible?  I’d say the idiot that jumped out of a perfectly good airplane….....

In a world where ministers murder golf pros?

The line about “he was a DAREDEVIL, just like his old man!” is ripped off from the DM song “Sturat.”

It’s not all that funny, necessarily, but I plowed so much Dead Milkmen music into my head between 1986 and 1989 that I have to vent it from time to time lest my head explode.

Good point about adults riding kids’ slides, etc. It’s not only physics (mass x velocity) but also biology (do you run around like a 3 year old when you are 40? Are you as toned, fit, and body aware?)

I like the Australian approach. When you are over there and you elect to do something you know is crazy, like jump off one of their insanely high bungee towers or raft down some class 5 rapids, you sign a very brief paper.

In effect, it says: “Don’t even think of suing us. This isn’t the US. You volunteered to do this. You can see it’s crazy and we told you it’s dangerous. So if you hurt yourself, or die, tough bikkies.”

Or however they spell the plural of biscuits.

Certainly holds down their costs.
