I have just signed a permission slip for my 14 to go on a class trip. It is hard for me to give her permission to do something so dangerous, so life threatening, so I had to really think this through.
I have had to assume all risks as they were presented to me- “the specific hazards associated with this activity are as follows;
equipment failure
extreme weather
natural disasters
political unrest and demonstrations
terrorism
food/water contamination
fall from height
cuts/scrapes
allergic reaction
cold
lost participant
theft/assault
Possible consequences as a result of these hazards are
head and or spinal cord injuries
loss or damage to personal property
emotional trauma
physical trauma
hypothermia
infection
gastro intestinal infection
DEATH”
Where are they going? Third world war torn country? Tough part of town?
No, they are going ice skating in North Toronto.

Ridiculous! This is what happens when some people are ridiculously litigious and don’t want to take any responsibility for their own choices. Absurd.
