<VV> Membership question -- 100% vs Not.

[Jim Houston]

When I used to have an airplane (1943 Taylorcraft L2M) our "club" - 
Alamo Liaison Squadron - used to give rides and such during fly in 
events.  We had a waiver of liability that everyone signed before they 
got in the airplane.  A friend of mine (a lawyer) said the waivers 
weren't worth the paper they were written on because the relatives of 
the passenger didn't sign one - so, THEY could sue if something happened 
to the passenger (even if it wasn't fatal) i.e. if Joe got hurt or 
injured during the flight, he could just have his wife/kids/family sue 
me.. He also said the waivers had to be written very carefully, or else 
the passenger could sue anyway.   I took the safest and easiest route - 
I quit giving rides...
