The Rec Center I occasionally swim at has starting blocks. I am aware that is a swim device that I am supposed to use once in awhile. The pool is very deep and used for daily swim team practice and some meets. Yet, there is always a bright yellow cone placed on the blocks during lap swimming hours. No one may use the starting blocks at this time. I find it irritating. No one could possibly get hurt unless they were especially idiotic. I guess they're worried about lawsuits. I saw someone doing backstroke starts once, but who wants to do those? This practice will discourage me from ever entering a non-OW event.

I must respectfully disagree. This is just the insurance company perspective on waivers.
Bottom line: waivers are not worthless. They just don't protect you from being sued because a lot of idiots file completely meritless lawsuits. This is not the fault of lawyers; it is the litigious nature of our society.
Hence, them not being worth the paper they are written on. As a family that relies on the insurance industry for our income I don't need a thesis to know they are worthless.
