SB 174 - This act states that a paddlesport outfitter has no liability for any injury to or death of a participant resulting from the inherent risks of paddlesport. However, an outfitter is liable if: (1) he or she intentionally injures a participant; (2) is negligent and is the proximate cause of the injury; (3) provides unsafe equipment that he or she should have known was unsafe; (4) fails to provide an approved flotation device; and (5) fails to use ordinary care.

Every outfitter shall post a sign which contains a warning that the outfitter is not liable for an injury as a result of the inherent risks of paddlesport activities.

This act is similar to HB 1609 (2002).
