So the question I have is: who pays for the damage? If it was a dealer sponsored event, the vehicle probably wouldn't have been there in the first place if it wasn't for the invintation, and if there was a spotter invloved, the spotter was probably a dealer employee. That would put the liability on the dealer, wouldn't it? I know ultimately it comes down to the driver of the vehicle, but it is an interesting question none the less.

i don't know of a sponsored event that doesn't require participants to sign a waiver releasing the organizers from liability for damage. it's thinking like this that has more and more dealers backing out of sponsorships, they can't afford the insurance. if i wreck my truck on a run, i went in with the option of not participating. unless someone puts a gun to my head to make me drive, it's always going to be my fault if i hit an inanimate object or snap any part that's supposed to be in one piece. costs for organized events would be far cheaper if the organizers weren't forced to carry additional liability insurance. i have insurance, to protect both myself, and whoever the hell gets in my way while i'm talking on the phone, eating a big mac and drinking a beer while reading the paper.

That's pretty much what I thought, but since I haven't been on a Hummer Happening, at least not an offroad event, that was just one of those thougths that occupy my brain when I should be looking out for that Green Peace moron in the Prius slamming on thier brakes in front of my 105,000 lb semi full of gas.
