What liabilities are associated with hosting an Airsoft game?
Ultimately the property owner is liable for anything and everything that happens during an Airsoft game on their property. This includes intentional or unintentional acts, medical emergencies, accidents, and property loss or damage. Waivers do not protect you from being sued for damages that result from an Airsoft game. What a waiver does is offer a defense in court that the “victim” knew of the risks and voluntarily participated in the event. Even with waivers, you can still be sued. If you are a minor, your parents can be sued. Unless you purchase special event insurance (contact an insurance broker for information about this) any liability should be covered by the property owner’s general liability policy. As insurance policies vary from company to company, you should check with your insurance carrier to see if you are covered.
