There's an implicit assumption that the risks are somehow reasonable, or at the very least, that the other party isn't being reckless or negligent.
If you ride a roller coaster after signing such a disclaimer, it's still reasonable to expect that people are tightening the damn bolts. And it's insane to expect both roller coasters to remain a viable business and individual riders to check that they are safe. At best, your attitude makes it nigh impossible to conduct business.

How many elevators skip on maintenance and inspection during Covid. Only a few states have roadworthiness inspections of vehicles; and Tesla autopilot may have driven into a truck; Or we could talk about texting while driving and drunk driving that endanger others, yet 60%/30% of Americans admit to it regularly, while 30k people die.
