Waivers don't protect against gross negligence. He can definitely sue.
I just got off the phone with Amin

You sign a waiver before you participate and proving negligence is a long shot.

Not like there was some huge puddle on floor so gross negligence ain't happening

If the court was wet, then he has a good case for negligence.

Good luck.

They mop these areas before these things take place and those waivers are pretty ironclad from what Amin told me.

Might throw him a couple of bands just in case he and his ambulance chaser lawyer tries to press it, good luck.

An ironclad waiver doesn't protect against gross negligence.

those waivers cover ANY risk associated.

and good luck trying to prove gross negligence. Not like there was some huge puddle or a fukkin trap door under the rim.

For PR purposes, they'll probably help with something, but :francis:

NOT if the risk is due to gross negligence.

It's in Georgia law:

"Can a Party Exempt Itself from Gross Negligence in a Waiver?

Presiding Judge Sara Doyle of the Georgia Court of Appeals explained that a party can’t exempt itself from gross negligence in a waiver."

you keep saying gross negligence.

Good luck proving it. Nothing looked like gross negligence in that situation.
