In the UK, you might not get the 'at own risk' sign, not because people aren't going to sue you, but because posting an 'at own risk' sign doesn't do a lot to change your liability. Whatever signs you post, it's still your responsibility to do everything you reasonably can to make sure it doesn't injure or kill people.
- ghaff 4y agoIt's not clear how much these sorts of signs help. You're still liable if you were grossly negligent in some way. One place I've been told liability waivers are useful is with activities that can potentially be dangerous. It can make it harder to make a credible a claim that you didn't know you could have a fall while hiking harder. Though, honestly in most cases no one reads these things and, again, gross negligence on the part of a guide or other leader isn't absolved anyway.
