Dunno for sure, but I think most SCA thinking goes
that that would be covered under the site waiver.

I know that as a warranted Chirurgeon, the insurance
holds the SCA, Inc. harmless, and we volunteers are
(hopefully) covered under the Good Samaritan laws,
unless we have higher than BFA certs in the state
we're working in. As a First Aid provider, all you
hafta do is show that your actions were "what a
prudent person would do". Dunno how that would relate
to food poisoning and related matters.

Cariadoc, you've got a greater familiarity with the
law than most of us do, as well as a great deal of
experience in SCA. Do you have any input, or suggested
places for us to look, if we're interested?
