I am an officer in a hiking club. We have a liability waiver... usual stuff pertaining to dangers of

hiking. Including, "You are responsible for yourself."

Now comes covid. Does it make sense to add to the liability waiver? Do they ever protect anyone against anything?

Personally, I have an umbrella policy attached to my renters policy. I am also judgement proof since I have no assets.

If I ever seriously hurt someone, the standard policy will not cover the cost of their injuries.

Maybe I'm pissing money away on that...

I'm getting older. (no shit, considering the alternative).

I figure I've driven about 2.2 million miles since I got my license. Mostly sales jobs.


No accidents that I caused. I was indemnified for the minor accidents that were caused by others.
