Have you ever been ziplining? Gone to a trampoline park? Or even played in an amateur sports league? If so, there is a good chance that you have, at some point, signed a waiver of liability. If you represent a sporting organization, you may even use a waiver or are considering doing so.

A waiver of liability is a document outlines the risks that participants are willing to accept. The purpose of waivers is to absolve organizations of potential liability and provides organizations an opportunity to demonstrate their legal responsibility, when used properly. As with any legal document, there is a risk that waivers will not be upheld in court and expose the organization to liability and the payment of damages.
