Ok, what prompted my question in the first place, we had a long time member drop out of our club because he feared he would lose his house if a member's plane should fall on someone. A lot of to-do about nothing, my opinion. If you go to church a member of the congregation runs down a pedestrian in the parking lot, they will not sue every member of the congregation, that's my point. I have never heard of a case where they did but if they did, I truly doubt the suit would go very far.
You are correct in saying anyone can sue anyone else for anything anytime, but I don't think club members need to worry about events in which they didn't participate and had no involvment whatsoever. If I felt otherwise, I'd drop out tomorrow myself.
I am personally unaware of any situation in which an entire membership was sued for damages due to one club members negligence or accident and frankly doubt there is one.
