"And have fun!"
Per Terrierman by way of LabRat, I have just read one of the coolest disclaimers of all time.

". If you are lucky enough to have somebody try to rescue you or treat your injuries, they may be incompetent or worse. This includes doctors and hospitals."
*giggle*
I wonder if there's any connection between the disclaimer and the property being listed for sale. Still, it's the best disclaimer ever!
Hmmm, you mean the left wing is not taking the park service to court ver this...saying,"It aint fair not to have someone rescue me if get lost?"
I LOVE it!! The whole thing comes down to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, something which our nanny-state government institutions and ambulance-chasing lawyers have done their best to try and obliterate. Unfortunately, too few people believe that they should be held accountable for their own actions, a condition that is taught in our schools ("You CAN'T give Junior an "F", it will hurt his ego...") and perpetuated in the vast majority of our social institutions. OK, getting down off my soapbox now. (Why do I get the feeling that I'm preaching to the choir here, though...?)
The only thing not covered was the hazards of being crushed by a falling airplane......
and..... just remember: Gravity Always Wins. Don't lose big.
Nice disclaimer.
I think the reason for it is probably the campers who had some sort of accident in a preserve(this or other) and sued.
I read about it on lawdog files. I think it was a man that walked off trail to piss and fell down a ravine, and his family sued the park(presumably because there was no warnings or guardrails at the ravine or somesuch).
Forget South Padre...I'm freakin' going to West Virginia for Spring Break! Sounds like a party.
Dude, I am so stealing this for a blog post...
