    If they are going to make rules like this how long will it be before mountain climbing, sky diving, surfing or skate boarding is against the law?

    Everything like this involves drawing a line somewhere. Some of us believe where we draw the line is obvious but some of us find it more nuanced. Unfortunately, with safety issues, the bottom line of insurance companies is generally where it is drawn and are government responds to their wishes/campaign contributions.

    This is just another case of the state finding any stupid reason to collect money because the they don't have the balls to tax the wealthy... because the wealthy took possession of their balls. And now they own Dodgeball.

    Kid should have the freedom to get hit in the balls, to remind them that they have them.

    Has anyone here pinned part of the responsibility of the PARENTS of kids who get hurt at day camp any file lawsuits?
    Most laws are reactive, not proactive. That is, they are legislated in response to something. Something like a fucking kid twisting his ankle rounding first base in a kickball game. Figure out the age of the kids and guesstimate the average that the parents would be. Those are the assholes who are partly to blame... the fuckers who will sue the state to get out of paying the fees paid to the day camp.

    I've never done it, but I think you have to sign some sort of liability waiver when you skydive.

    It is.
    It is the fucking asshole PARENTS that sue when their fucking kids get hurt. Sue the city if your kid's skateboard endos on an expansion gap on the sidewalk. Sue the school if your kid falls of the monkey bars during recess. Sue the state if your kid takes a kickball to the face at a state run day camp.
    Kids do sue... their fucking ASSHOLE Parents sue.
