“Did I read that right? Hiking may result in death? Is this a joke?” No. In this overly-litigious society, these signs are now the norm. The Region of Waterloo, despite the absence of grizzly bears, cliffs or man-eating sharks, was warning users they could die while enjoying a walk. No actual danger was mentioned, just the act of cycling or hiking in the forest.
[Very enjoyable and provocative article. -MH]
