Mike brings up an interesting point re: liability. However, how certain would an attorney be of proving negligence? We all agree to go chasing/racing understanding that none of us are professionals. Absent an obvious error or blatant disregard of the rules, how could one driver be considered negligent and the other not?
I remember a case where 2 yoots (sorry, your honor, yoouuthes) got in a fight after a hockey game in NY. Each went to his car in the lot, retreived his weapon of choice (brass knuckles vs. nun-chuks) and went at it. One died. In civil court, the judge declared no harm/no foul as both men agreed to fight.
Fortunately, DE is quite safe except for equipment failures, and we all do diligent tech inspections, so negligence is ? All said, I still would not want to be named in a suit.
Where's the pie?
