    Default The Sizzler Waiver

    Attention Everyone attending the Sizzler...PLEASE READ.

    After much consideration, The Paratrooper Association in conjunction with the Sizzler Committee have decided the following:

    Because the Sizzler has grown from a couple of friends getting together for a fishing trip, into a TPA sponsored event with 50 + in attendance. The "Liability Issue" needs to be addressed. Especially, when there will be alcohol consmption, and weapons handling.

    Everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions. But, because accidents can happen. We need to be proactive in protecting TPA, their representatives, and the Hemingway famiy.

    Thus the "Sizzler Waiver" was written. Everyone attending MUST READ AND SIGN a copy of the "Sizzler Waiver" upon arrival to this event. It will be mandatory, before being allowed to participate.

    We want everyone to enjoy themselves in a safe envionment, and stress the importance of being responsible for their own actions.

    Please take the time to read this Waiver.

    I couldnt help but notice there was no mention of "penetration" or "injuries incurred during beastiality"? I guess those could all fall under section 2, but you may want to amend it to have a special section about injuries sustained from midgets in flight and lack of proper lubrication.

    I'm just sayin'.......
