Airsoft & DND Members

[Ivanov]

I hate misinformation; I finally got a strait, simple, correct answer to my questions. What I have discovered is that my original interpretation was correct. Yes DND can hold the club liable for the injury of a member while playing airsoft, however this only occurs in insistences of gross negligence or debilitating injury. So in plain terms this is how it works.


If a DND member receives a MINOR injury, i.e. a sprained ankle, while participating in an organized sport no legal action is required. Also no investigation shall be carried out unless requested by the member.


If a DND member receives a DEBILITAING injury, i.e. loss of limb or life, while participating in an organized sport while off duty. DND will conduct an investigation. If the organizer of the sport is found to have been negligent in some way DND will hold the business or organization liable and take the appropriate action.


So basically in the end, the information I had gotten after the incident was incorrect. At the time I had been told the club was liable for ANY and ALL injuries. Which as it turns out is not the case at all. Maybe I should just stop asking questions, ignore what people tell me and just go find the answers in the Pubs from now on, sigh. :banghead:

XD Don't worry too much about it, there's so much legality to deal with nowadays there's basically no one in the world that could understand it all. Gotta keep the lawyers in the job somehow.
