[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Virginia liability waivers are of limited value legally. They are not blanket protection for the club. [/quote]

Cite?  Also cite for assumption of risk not applying in absence of waiver, counselor?[/quote]

Not in VA. Don’t know what the law is there. But in MD there’s a case on all fours directly on the issue, and it goes against the efficacy of parental waiver of children’s rights. If you want a cite you can go look for it. You know, buff your research skills during this long hiatus. [/quote]

My research skills are not a problem.  In fact, they reveal a case that seems to contradict exactly what you say above:  https://www.mdcourts.gov/data/opinions/coa/2013/99a12.pdf

Are you thinking about a more recent case from a higher court in MD?  I see no better authority than this, which holds that parental waivers on behalf of children are usually effective absent gross negligence or wanton/reckless behavior, or an activity of great public importance or necessity.[/quote]
