A signed waiver doesn’t automatically protect a business from liability. In Michigan, waivers do not cover gross negligence, reckless behavior, or hazards outside the normal “scare” experience.

For example, if you tripped over a loose board, were injured by an unsafe structure, or got hurt in an overcrowded area with no emergency exits, you may still have a valid claim. Keep your waiver and take photos of the unsafe condition if possible.
