Yeah sure! but how many astro events do you go to an sign a waiver?
Going to a gym where you know what your in for, is a lil different than going to a public event and the unexpectant happens. The gym would still have some sort of cover. For instance if you were to pick up some weights and you toppled over, the weights fall from you hands and amazingly smash through a window onto Joe public walking down the street. would you be reasponsible for the fact that the gym was on the first floor, with floor to ceiling windows? This is what public liability cover is for, the unforseen.
My question to Rod is more to do with duty of care of the organisers and making sure they are covered for the unforseen or if this needs to be an issue that should be fully looked at. I guess it is the old production manager coming out in me. We can go out with good intentions and then find ourselves in the poo. This is where experience comes in and I'm only trying to share mine
kindest regards
