Motorized recreational vehicle activities liability limits establishment provision
This bill establishes liability limits for injuries or deaths related to inherent risks of motorized recreational vehicle activities in Minnesota. It applies to participants and organizers of events involving off-highway vehicles, snowmobiles, golf carts, motorcycles, and similar vehicles used in recreational, competitive, or instructional settings. The law states that participants cannot sue organizers for negligence when injuries result from normal risks like terrain hazards, collisions, or operator error, provided warning signs are posted at activity sites. However, liability is not limited if the injury was caused by gross negligence, intentional harm, or if organizers provided dangerously defective vehicles or equipment.
