Quote: "Before [the trip] began, each person signed paperwork acknowledging the trip's risks — the greatest one being death."
You guys think that will get them off the hook?
Nope, because it reads like negligence to me.
Release forms are seldom worth the paper they are printed on.
It's one thing if the guides were on the boat with them, did everything they could and things just got out of control.
But when the guides noted that the water was higher than normal, they send the two elderly ladies down by themselves and don't even have them in sight, it should be no problem for a lawyer getting a jury to find the guides negligent.
One could argue for criminal negligence.
