I suspect the dribble are either being heavily mid-understood, or its made up. The most they're liable to say, having o. Many occasions delivered such messages yourself, is something to the effect of "have you considered your position re insurance etc if in case soneone is injured at your event?', and be they car cruisers or cheese rollers the answer is usually a "no".
Someone attends the event, falls, breaks their neck, sues the organiser for the value of their house etc, and they invariably complain afterwards 'why didn't someone tell me?'

Now, next time you're at a familiar public event, you're injured as a consequence and can't work, and then find the organiser has no cover, then we will hold you to that fine sentiment.
It's an easy thing to say when it's not your leg in plaster and you're still cashing your pay check each month.
He would be wise to do so in order to protect himself, his livelihood and even his house if it for pear shaped.dan smith":31y8y96n said:Are you saying the cheese manufacturer should get some public liability insurance if he want to supply this event? :shock:
People are too keen to blame others for their own misfortune nowadays.. neglect is another issue.
