[GeoStL] Legal Thread

-
I stumbled on an interesting discussion about
liability in the groundspeak forums.  (thread#168699) 
This discussion was in the general geocaching forums
and not in the Moga or SLAGA sections.  

I posted to the MoGA forum a comment about the
discussion.  I thought I'd post here too since this
seems more active.

General discussion in the thread suggests that cache
owners are liable for injuries that occur to people
seeking their caches.  The general discussion also
states that the liability clause only protects
groundspeak from suit if something happens.

I had a few questions about this since I'm mostly
ignorant about law.

1.  Are cache placers liable if someone gets hurt
seeking a cache?

2.  Do we have any SLAGA members knowledgable on legal
matters?

3.  Has there been any interest in SLAGA to invite
historians, lawyers or politicians for training/or
workshops and classes?  I know I'd like to hear from a
lawyer about this and I love attending workshops about
local history and such.

  PLEASE NOTE:  I am not trying to start trouble, I am
just curious.  I have not been injured seeking a
cache.  I just saw the discussion and thought it would
be interesting to discuss.
