Now this is Great!
No legalese, no Bull Sheet, just the facts...if you are stupid, uncoordinated, lack judgement, expect us to save you because you are, well, you're just Sheet Out of Luck!

I get it now...
"The other people in the preserve, including other visitors, our employees, agents, and guests, and anyone else who might sneak in, may be stupid, reckless, or otherwise dangerous. They may be mentally ill, criminally insane, drunk, using illegal drugs and/or armed with deadly weapons and ready to use them."

So it's like a TT trip?

we go there every year. the disclaimer that you sign is slightly different - we always laugh at it because it says something like:

this is very very very very very very dangerous

LOL

i once signed a waiver with a guide company. included were phrases like "horses may be startled by people, animals, or nothing at all" (one was actually startled by his own fart) and "there may be civil unrest"

i went anyway

A place that allows complete novices the opportunity for some technical climbing. I bet darwin awards are given out often
