Default RE: Lawsuit filed against AMA

Yes, an AMA document where the PILOT certifies that he is competent. The AMA did not certify him, he did. How does that transfer to the AMA??
certifies??? Yea, the certification process... sign here... Oh don't get me going... Look, it is a travesty that AMA is being sued but it is the AMA that has supplied much of the asphalt that paved the road...

AMA should have spent much more time working on implementation of legislation across the country that absolves property owners of liabilities associated with model flying as we have done here in Texas. Instead they continue to supply the meat that the sharks feeds on... The sharks grow... one day they look at you and think ummm...
Maybe, but does the law in Texas and other states stop lawsuits in civil court?
The quote from Silent sounds alot like the waivers we sign in AMA amateur motocross.
By the time you buy your AMA card, district card, pay at the gate, and sign up to race,
you will have signed 4 waivers that you understand moto is dangerous, and that the facility and promotors
are not responsible for anything.
Spectators sign the same document upon entry.
Yet, suits are filed, and if nothing else, settled.
I don't see AMA or anyone else being able to solve that.
