Hey, we're just a bunch of friends that happen to communicate casually, often meet for drinks and talk scuba - a shared interest - and sometimes we go dive together. Sometimes somebody brings a grill to the dive outings and we have hot dogs. If one of our friends does something ill-advised and gets hurt or dead, well, we'll miss them, but fate pointed its finger and it sucked to be them that particular day and we'll see that their other gear finds a good home.

You don’t need to even know the other person, act stupid and they get hurt same, no deep pocket in sight no lawyer will bother.You lose all privileges, access, etc. Any time you "act like a club/organization" and the leaders act as such, somebody gets hurt -----> they are responsible.

A nice fat insurance policy is nothing more than a ripe piece of fruit begging to be picked.You don’t need to even know the other person, act stupid and they get hurt same, no deep pocket in sight no lawyer will bother.
