Droping things from aircraft? Two kids injured at MI Minor Leauge BB Game

Waivers do not stand up in court--they are for keeping people who don't know that from sueing.

So if something doesn't "stand up in court" you can't use it as evidence?

So, if polygraph machines don't "stand up in court", I could beat you to death with one and that evidence would not be viewed by the courts as admissible?

Have you ever been to a baseball game? There is a waiver printed on the back of the ticket saying they are not responsible for injuries from flying balls or bats. By purchasing the ticket, you accept the waiver. To answer your question, you can introduce the polygraph machine into evidence when used as a weapon in an assault, but not the results of a polygraph test. It's too easy to beat the machine.

And to think--I just took up for you in a different forum because you can't spell worth a crap. Didn't know you didn't have any common sense either!

But DrPoke, wouldn't the fact that somebody thought a waiver was necessary be relevant? If reasonable precautions were taken, why was anyone asked to sign a waiver?

I think we all concur that a signed waiver would not prevent someone from bringing suit.

And I don't find the baseball analogy apt. A Reasonable Man would say any idiot who goes to a baseball game knows baseballs fly into the crowd sometimes; but would he say the same idiot expects money to fly out of helicopters at a baseball game?
