Parental Waivers
Florida supreme court has now ruled that Parental Waivers are no longer valid in the state of Florida and children can also still not sing the waivers their selves. I was wandering about opinions on this from an active instructors point of view.

Great. No more minors doing anything more dangerous than watching TV.
Sigh.....
No divers under 18?
Men of Principle since 1839.
It's not enough that adults can't be held responsible for themselves, now adults can't be held responsible for the actions of their kids.
What a bunch of crap - "protecting the rights" of children. This is all about getting money out of a deep pocket, and abrogating any personal responsibility for one's (or one's childrens) actions.
... and the process by which this country will be destroyed continues...

Waivers for minor children signed by a parent or legal guardian have been unenforceable for many years and many law suits were allowed to proceed. The court ruling allowed the case in question to proceed but emphasized "that our holding is narrowly directed at those commercial operators who wrongfully and negligently cause injury.” They affirmed what has always been the case just about everywhere. /K
