Danger!!!

Do you ever get the sense that danger warnings are going overboard? Remember the days when a simple "You'll shoot your eye out!" was all the warning you ever needed? Check out this disclaimer. These folks have really gone above and beyond, and I think the world is a safer place because of it. Now if I only had another TV show to live vicariously through since I can't participate in real life due to the risk involved...

Excerpt:
"Nature is unpredictable and unsafe. Mountains are dangerous. Many books have been written about these dangers, and there's no way we can list them all here. Read the books.

"[this place] is covered in steep terrain with loose, slippery and unstable footing. The weather can make matters worse. Sheer drops are everywhere. You may fall, be injured or die. There are hidden holes. You could break your leg. There are wild animals, which may be vicious, poisonous or carriers of dread diseases. These include poisonous snakes and insects. Plants can be poisonous as well. We don't do anything to protect you from any of this. We do not inspect, supervise or maintain the grounds, rocks, cliffs or other features, natural or otherwise."
