Peter, I knew posting that message would bring about questions not
easily answered. But the questions must be asked and must be answered.
It will come out sooner or later. It is probably not a popular position
to hold - but my gut feeling is, yes out of staters are more likely to
sue. Mainly because they are least familiar with desert terrain and apt
to make an unfortunate decision like getting lost in the desert, making
a wrong turn or not having proper clothing and catching a bad cold. Not
to say something like this can happen to someone who lives in Arizona.
As far as who signs waivers? Everyone who shows up at the marathon
site. This means not only those participating in the marathon, but also
those that have their own observing list, astro-photographers and folks
along for the ride. Don't think this should apply to Ray Farnsworth and
his family. Parents will have to put their children's name on the
waiver. They are responsible for them and their behavior.
Hope this helps,
aj
