Waiver to go roller skating

I went to a roller skating place that serves food as well. It's kid friendly.

I had to sign a waiver saying they could use my images and also if anything was to happen, not their fault.

Am I thinking this is over the top?

Also had to provide all my personal details like address, email, name, telephone number.... Which seems over the top. However it also had other people's email address come up as auto fill, so GDPR issue?

Surely we don't just sign away our rights?

So if you are re on a trampoline and it breaks, you can't go after the venue? Despite them not doing checks, maintaining etc?

It's also skating, you don't sign a waiver to do anything in council space like crossing the road, swimming, rugby etc

Because trampoline parks and roller rinks are high risk activities where accidents can be likely to happen.

The waivers are about taking responsibility for accidents that ARE your fault, not aren’t your fault.

Is it really that much of an inconvenience to sign it?

Trampoline parks should be making the areas safe.

Or how about you sign a waiver at work?

Totally standard. Places with risks like roller skate rinks and trampoline parks have these.
