My guess would be that at all of those places they make you sign a waiver of sorts to prevent any frivolous lawsuits from sue happy clientele. I mean, they're not all that hard to fall out of and injure yourself on... I've been at 7 Springs with friends who've gotten their arms (legs, body...) torn up from not using their brake handle quite enough, and it ain't pretty. Perhaps they view it like skiing & boarding; you can't really injure yourself worse or more easily on a slide than skiing or boarding. Those are the only ways I can think of to explain why there's so many of them operating at such major resorts around the country. That and the fact that they're a freakin blast,
