| The key word is negligent. I would certainly hold them responsible if they
were negligent, but realize that accidents do happen even with the best of
caution. I have found that signing releases doesn't mean squat if something
happens and you want to sue - but it probably intimidates some people into
thinking they have no right to sue!

No form in the world excuses one from negligence. The form is
probably a technicality (like the one you have to sign before surgery)
it gives the people false security and should someting happen they can
point to the form. However, the form does not legally protect them if
they are at fault.

| I never sign a release so general. I'd modify it something alone the lines
of ...
except in the case of negligence by the school, or its paid
or voluntary staff
While it probably doesn't mean much still, it shows the school that there
are limits to the liability they can disclaim and you know it.
