I need a parental permission slip to play on trampoline.

[Guest]

I want a permission slip that can be signed by parents to allow their
child/children to play on my trampoline. I want this to state that i am not
liable if their child/children get hurt while they are on the trampoline.

If it was your child that was hurt, would you accept a do-it-yourself
release for damages? Honestly.

Are you serious???
I suppose you are a leftpondian? The only country in the world where
parents aren't responsible for their own children...

No, I understand that we all take care of our own children. In the case that
a child comes over to play on it and then gets hurt without their parents
knowledge of what they are doing, I don't want to get caught in a legal
battle over it. There are several people in my neighborhood that are doing
the same thing and I understand completely.

I would at least know what they were doing and where. There is parental
supervision and rules they have to follow, but you never know when something
could happen.

I just don't think a "do it yourself" document like that would stand up in a
court. I'd be willing to be that your home owners insurance is either sky
high or you've never told them you have a trampoline.

I'm sure it wouldn't stand up legally, but it would probably help, and be a
nice dramatic tool. Apparently the legal system can assess partial
culpability, and such a slip would prevent the parent from saying he/she
didn't know what was going on down the street.

However, this newsgroup is designed to advise on the technical aspects of
using Word, not the content of Word documents. You'd be better off
searching the web, though any examples you get free are unlikely to have any
more legal weight that just making it up yourself. It's possible that home
schooling sites might offer some examples. I believe there are also legal
forms available on the web.
