Unsafe divers on my boat!

[Kamala]

Do you really think the diabetic diver was going to check NO on anything? Divers like we are talking about, are not going to fill out this form truthfully. Actually I suspect this diver never has filled out this form truthfully. So whats the point? Do you require all divers to have a medical form signed by a doctor? Lot's of luck!

The main purpose of these forms (like the ones you sign before you ride a mechanical bull in a bar or engage in some other risky activity) is to limit the liability of the captain/DM/proprieter/employees, rather than to actually screen people from participation. When the dead diabetic's family sues the captain/DM, the captain/DM whips out the form and says "I made a reasonable inquiry, your relative lied." Diabetic's family gets nothing, captain/DM lives in peace.
