Why you ask? First of all it doesn't matter what he or you do or care. You are both six feet under. What really matters is the relatives who are alive and what they do. You see, your passenger cannot waive the rights of his/her spouse or heirs. They must each sign a waiver and in the case of the kids who are underage, they cannot sign a waiver so a trustee or guardian must sign for them. Gets pretty cumbersome to protect your ASS-ets from attachment if you bore a hole in the ground. They will come after your estate to replace the loss of income and security your passenger provided to his/her family. That is where the rubber hits the road. What is the worth of a soul? I cannot determine that answer. The Lord says the worth of a soul is great in the eyes of God. But what is the worth of a life? that can be determined by actuarial study and dependent upon his/her occupation, age, etc. that number can be staggering. I would assume a widowed spouse with three children would have great needs to be met and without the prime wage earner to provide for those needs they would need some compensation. Does that make sense? I would hope my spouse and chldren would be cared for after my demise from a "Mistake by another party". Sooooooo we still takes our risk for the love of the sport.
