Here is the definition of "outdoor activity" in Illinois:

For outdoor activity. To engage in outdoor activity, provided the individuals comply with Social Distancing Requirements, as defined below, such as, by way of example and without limitation, walking, hiking, running, or biking. Individuals may go to public parks and open outdoor recreation areas. However, playgrounds may increase spread of COVID-19, and therefore shall be closed.

It isn't specific, but by those examples it seems to me "outdoor activity" is activity where you keep moving and do not stay in one place. Just my opinion though!

Did anyone expect no waivers?
Do you understand these guidelines.
Please sign here.
Its like when police arrest someone being read their rights.

Employers who are not accustomed to structure in the workplace are going to struggle with guidelines that can have reprecussions. Employers wanting employee's back in office with no new safety precautions causing issue's.
Ignorance or...?

Atleast have usssa and others acknowledging situation.

Rather have usssa and others atleast acknowledging situation

A waiver states you understand the safety precautions that are being provided (or not provided), not that it is safe. :unsure:

As i have been repeating risk mitigation.

When plastic bags need warnings on them.
Waivers are similar.

No sports are without risk, risk is inherent.
As adults we manage risk all the time. When we go on roller coasters, when we board flights, get behind the wheel. Children aren't legally allowed to assume risks on their own that's why parents are required to do so for kids. When your daughter gets in the box against a pitcher throwing upper 60s you are allowing her to assume risk. Playing during Covid 19 is a risk, if you're not willing to accept that risk then don't allow your daughter to play. But just like when you walk by a bungee jumping station and see people taking risk, you don't prevent them from doing what they want, same principle. Eveyone has their own risk tolerance and it's a personal choice.

So true, and the reason I pointed out the obvious. Unfortunately common sense isn’t so common. :)

EDIT: So I shouldn’t use a plastic bag for a mask? It fits so well compared to those other things! ;)

I didn’t say otherwise. I said a waiver spells out the precautions that have been taken and the precautions that you are responsible for. I think too many businesses think a waiver is a blanket protection against liability and too many people think a waiver means everything has been done for them.

You take risk everyday just by getting out of bed. Or staying in bed.
