I should have brought a copy of our waiver form, because our waiver form specifically refers to negligence. Our participants sign away their rights for our negligent behaviour. Back in the old days, before the Internet, when we didn't have a way of communicating the language of our waiver, occasionally some people would read that...because we specifically deal with negligence in the waiver form. The reason we do is that, as an operator...to me, there's really no definition of what negligence is, unless it's obvious gross negligence.
For example, if a guide is taking rafters down the rapids and the raft flips and somebody gets injured, obviously something went wrong, but was it guide error? Was it that the people weren't paddling hard enough? Was it just a rogue wave? What was it? But if this guide were high on alcohol or drugs, there would be no protection for us. That would be gross negligence.
