I would never think signing a waiver would ever hold up. If there were such a waiver that said you WILL NOT be rescued if you get stuck and if someone signed it and got killed when they could have been rescued, you know the lawsuit would be huge and such waivers would disappear.

You mean like tha waiver that boaters sign that keeps the Coast Guard from having to rescue them when they're in trouble.....Oh wait....
Bad arguement Rick.
