Sliders on private lake w/ association

My association just allowed us to place a slider on our lake during our tournaments and limited weekday use during the summer. Full usage during the Fall/Winter months. They are requesting paper work that would indemnify the association in case of injury. Does anyone have any such paperwork we could use as a guideline. I realize we may need to see an attorney for professional help.

you will probably have to get an attorney to draft from scratch. Indemnification could make you soley responsible huh?

Mike:

Generally when an association requests indemnification they are asking to be named as "additional insured" under someones general liability policy or boat policy. As this is not a vessel no coverage would exist. Ask them for clarification. If you put it out there who ownes it? Whos responsible for maintaining it? Whos insurance covers it? If association grants permission they surely have culpibility in event of injury. Whos property is it anchored on associations or floating? Are they requesting any releases? Ask some of the guys from Canyon Lake for their assocaition information.

Be very carefull here this is dangerous water.

i am taking a different aproach on our private lake (policing might be very different on our lake) im just gonna throw one in on a sand bar and write "caution sandbar" on it. im trying to disguise it as a marker (~20ft slider). im interested to see how it will be received (realisticly, who is gonna take it out, i know the sheriff wont bother, he old, fat, lazy, etc)
good luck! its nice to see someone choose the "good and honest" way
