Release stops lawsuit in Canadian Zip Line Lawsuit
Posted: April 14, 2011 Filed under: Release (pre-injury contract not to sue), Zip Line Leave a commentWins for Releases I’ve been told are Rare in BC.
Two women were zip lining when one “slammed” into the other one. The zip line company Cougar Mountain Adventures Ltd. Supposedly one person stalled 1500’ (500 meters) from the end; she did not clear the line. The second person then slammed into her.
The court held the release was valid because it was a high risk activity and there was no legislation preventing the use of a release.
