Tube Trouble

A ski resort is not liable for a man’s injuries in a snow tubing accident, an appeals court in Missouri ruled, because the man signed a release of liability contract before buying tickets for the tubing hill. As the man slid down the hill on a rubber inner dub, his foot hit a crevice in the slope, breaking his leg in two pieces.
