Yesterday, coincidentally, I visited the Geffen Center of the MOCA here in
LA, and for one exhibit I had to sign a waiver acknowledging the risk of
personal injury, waiving my rights, etc, etc.
Well, of course I had to sign it so I could see what kind of museum exhibit
required a personal injury waiver! It was a wandering converted warehouse
with lot of low ceilings, darkness, and small spaces. A house built to
provide the experience of a journey through this artist's mind...
  it wasn't life threatening or even out and out dangerous, but still I
can't imagine the discussions they had to have with the insurance companies.

  Anyway, I guess we could all go this waiver route. Probably some day we
will have to. Sign a waiver for a tug o' war...
