I don't imagine anybody else has bothered to read the recent West
Virginia bill to limit cave owners' liability on pages 22-24 of the
guidebook to the 2012 NSS convention. I'm no lawyer, but it looks to
me like it provides:
No liability to federal, state, county, or municipal agencies for
using caves in ways including recreation.
No liability to everybody else only for military, law-enforcement, or
homeland-security training.
Does this mean you should pretend your caving is training to defend
the country, or what?
It also looks very much to me like the final section of the act tells
insurance companies that they agree _not_ to cite this act as a
defence again liability claims, but maybe that just means that either
I or the West Virginia legislature is illiterate. -- Mixon
