What do you think of these stupid waivers (like the above) ?
It's written on my kite canopy in fine print.
Do you believe they are there for your benefit ?
or
Do you believe they are there to legally protect the manufacturer ?
It's interesting to note that no mention of professional instruction for newbies with the use of the product is included in the text.
I don't think much of them, they're a legal thing.
The best one I saw was on a dirt surfer.. it said something like..
"Do Not use this product unless at some stage you want to be injured and hurt"
ok now im no law buff but, is that actually gonna hold up in court? because there is no consideration givin by one of the sides (the buyer) so you could say that the contract is void due to a unilateral mistake? maybe the writing needs to say " in purchasing this product you have agreed to all of the following.........etc.) ????
Geez....They don't have to write anything !
At least they are making the effort to warn of the dangers.
I like those little notes !
I see them when I go to pump my kite,and they remind me to double check and be careful.
It can also be harmful to your future babies.......slap...........groan........short term paralysis.........no breath..............arrghhhhhh
most of them say "not a toy" ect so people can't buy one, fly one, injure themselves and then claim they thought it was a kite and should have been told it was dangerous.
some of them are a bit stupid though
I reckon my manual and kite says something like 'Bla Bla Bla, you will die, others will die, serious injury, death, destruction, Bla Bla Bla.....If you pump up this product then you aggree to these terms and conditions, if you dont then return the product to the manufacturer.
Its always good value to have a read first, then you will be grinning even more when you pump up your new baby
the lift pro's had a pretty cool warning on them back in the day...
something about going off into the stratosphere or something
hmmm..i thought it was the most blatant warning label put on a flying toy but does give you a bit of caution
"No responsibility taken in case of death"
I saw this on a child's ride at Australian Wonderland.
There should be an advertising campaign like whats happening with smoking.
Kitesurfing caused depression - if its not windy.
Kitesurfing causes A.D.D and productivity dysfunction at work - If its windy. You just stare as seabreeze pressing refresh over and over again....
Kitesurfing makes wind widows yell at you when you get home late.
Kitesurfing turns you into an alcoholic - when you go to the pub because you don't want to gold home to a angry wind widow.
Kitesurfing will make all you other sports seem lame, and you will give them up, then when its winter and there is no wind for 3 months you will get fat. Your wind widow will leave you for a another man who shows up for mothers day even if its windy.
So who wants to donate $$$ for TV time?
