waiver are not here to explain why you should die or not. Just that you won't sue the compagny

  Waivers are there to keep you from suing the company BY explaining the realistic risks you are facing. If the waiver for visiting the Titanic in an untested submersible is the same as the waiver for getting a spa package I haven’t actually understood the risks.

    "you may die, more explicitly by instantaneous crushing of the hull on the passenger due to pressure, or alteratively a slow death by lack of oxygen if the sub get stranded at the bottom" Sure changes everything to know !

      Method of death isn't the relevant bit here. Likelihood is. A waiver for a one-in-however-many chance of having a heart attack in a sauna is of different orders of magnitude than a waiver for a one-in-maybe-a-dozen chance of having the poorly built experimental submarine implode.

        How would you even start assessing likelihood for that ? You just don't have data for

          If you don't have any idea how dangerous something is, you're probably going to want to estimate it as pretty damn dangerous. Of course there's enough data here to make an estimate, though IMO that estimate would still end up being quite dangerous.
