Can parents sign LIABILITY WAIVERS for children?

The Florida Legislature recently sent a bill to Governor Charlie Crist to allow parents to sign liability waivers for children participating in risky activities. "The initial child waiver legislation "would have let theme parks and adventure attractions waive gross negligence, but the weaker measure protects against only inherent risk, a much lower legal standard"

Court rules business liability waivers unenforceable against minors.

The Insurance Journal recently reported, "The Florida Supreme Court has ruled that a parent can't execute an injury liability waiver for a minor child when the liability release involves participation in a commercial, as opposed to community or nonprofit, activity" as "such releases are more in the interest of the commercial interests requiring them than they are in the best interests of the public or the child who may be injured, the court found." The wrongful death suit arose after a child wrecked his ATV at Thunder Cross Motor Sports Park. His father had signed a "release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk and indemnity agreement" for his son in order to "gain entry."
