DexterBase 1 #1 May 2, 2003 I was looking for some aid gear and came across this dislaimer from Fish. Pretty clear and to the point. Thought you might get a kick out of it. DISCLAIMER Rock Climbing and any variation of this sport is dangerous. Risk cannot be eliminated. This catalog is not an instruction manual, nor should it take the place of good judgement. The equipment offered in this catalog can kill you. It can kill you on your first day out to the crags with your squeaky clean boots and rope. It can kill a seasoned "Wall Master" with a thousand pitches under his belt. If living under the threat of death is less than appealing to you, please find another sport. Heads do pop off. Families will lose favorite members. Rescue people will be forced to scoop you into vile green vinyl bags. Remember, you made the choice to climb. Have the guts to take responsibility for what you are doing, be it dying, quasi mutilation, or something as simple as just losing your mind. If you intend to weasel out of your obligation to be responsible, and see laying blame on us as an alternative to your ineptness, please do not buy our gear. Please, close your wallet and go away now, before it's too late. Bye. See ya. Hasta la Vista. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookitt 1 #2 May 2, 2003 Thats'a great disclaimer ThanksMy grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sum1sneaky 0 #3 May 2, 2003 I have always bought FISH gear and love that company! While Pika is also a great company, FISH has style and demonstrates it in creative ways like this! Nothing like a good honest disclaimer to make people like us grin with excitement stay out of those vinyl bags! ha, ha, ha... sum1 "I feel NAKED without my FISH gear"!

Dd0g 0 #4 May 2, 2003 The Wallfish strikes again. . . Peace, D-d0g+~+~+~+~ But this, surely, was the glory that no spirits, canine or human, had ever clearly seen, the light that never was on land or sea, and yet is glimpsed by the quickened mind everywhere.

TomAiello 26 #5 May 2, 2003 Have you read the original CR warning labels? Quote...lower the risk of getting busted by staying home... There's a whole paragraph of that kind of thing. Let me see if I can dig it up. It's quite humorous.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dd0g 0 #7 May 3, 2003 Quote"ineptness" should be "ineptitude". How ironic. I don't recall Russ (Walling, the "Wallfish") ever claiming to be a grammar guru. However, he has a well-earned reputation for drinking like the proverbial "Fish" and still getting up the next day to climb hard. Plus he makes pimp gear!
