Probably had a few reds on it....

David Pogue, who went on board, reported that he read a waiver that described the submersible as an "experimental" vessel, "that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body, and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma or death".

I read somewhere else but cannot find it now, that death was mentioned three times in the first page of the waiver.

Courts often ignore attempts to contract out of strict liability

You can’t exclude legal liability for death or injury from negligence in English law.

Whether the contracts are under English law or not, who knows - esp if the possible negligence is in international waters?
