I didn't know there was a waiver for boaters to sign. But it probably a lot harder to patrol all the waterways than a few mountain trail entrances. Is Mt. Hood a state or national park? Even so, I'm all for people signing a waiver if they decide to go out in bad weather, against all advisories. Why should anyone risk their as$ to save adventurers like that? I'm not talking about fishermen or cargo ships or people who are out there when it gets bad. But when you know it's gonna be bad out there and decide to go, you need to be responsible for your actions and no one should have to risk their own life to save you.
