Agreed. There's not much more that could be done with the way things are. It really needs a regulatory body to mediate the grey areas on the legal side for everybody's protection. The way it is, it's just Insurers chasing the blame. At least a mediator could stand the ground and show the insurers what's what, court waivers that stand up and us enthusiasts what cover and stuff to help protect us.
But with a regulatory body comes tougher regulations and legalities so it's catch 22.
