I don't understand how this guy kept saying this sub was the safest thing, and then turned around and had passengers sign a waiver stating that death was in the cards. I would think that would make someone question whether the guy actually thought it was safe. Then again, I'm not rich and dumb (just poor and dumb lol). The disconnect is amazing.
Adding on to the other person saying “to be fair”, you gotta sign a waiver when doing nearly anything with any risk: renting a moped, scuba diving, horseback riding, zip lining, any random thing has risks.
To be fair, you have to sign a waiver when getting even the most routine surgery too (in Australia, anyway)
While that is true, and as the person below mentioned there are a lot of things with risk that have waivers, you don't necessarily see the people making you sign those waivers telling everyone that said risks are stupid to even consider, as Rush did in the texts he sent.
