just recently received a trampoline from g-ma and g-pa for x-mas for the kids.

I would like someone to email me a free waiver form that will protect us from being liable if god for bid someone was hurt on our new tramp.

they are like $25-50:mad: online. Sorry but I can't afford that. Anyone good with words:)

thank you,
chris

First remember that the forms will have to be signed by the child's parent, and if for example one child is visiting his non custodial parent the custodial parent has to even sign it.

Also that still does not stop 100 percent of your liability if you don't provide reasonable and customary care.
For examle will there be neting around it, what surface is it placed on and so on.
While a form may help I doubt it would stop a determined law suit

Also have you informed your house insurance that you have one, there will be most likely rules or extra premium for it.

Also is there a fense around it, what do you do to stop people from using it when you are not home, if you are gone and someone gets hurt you can still be liable.

Waiver won't do you any good at all - the best thing you can is take safety precautions such as no shoes on the trampoline, a cage, cushions around the outer ring, spotters, adult supervision.

Waivers - no matter how carefully prepared - do not work because a person cannot waive his/rights and that includes the right to sue if injured. This question just came up in another thread - this would be the same as having passengers in your car sign a waiver that they won't sue you if you get into an accident. You'd get laughed out of Court.

You have to protect yourself - I increased my homeowners insurance AND required that a parent be present when kids used my pool.

Hello s:

The advice above is right on.

Here's some other stuff about "waviers" I'll bet you didn't know. Those signs in your dry cleaners that says stuff like, "not responsible for items left after 30 days", and the stuff on the back of your lift ticket that says, "we are not responsible if you break your neck", and the stuff in parking lots that says "we are not responsible if we damage your car"...

All that stuff, is pure BS. If they lose your stuff, or you get hurt on their property, or they damage your car, you betcha you can sue them, and I don't care what you signed.
