The Fort Johnson Baptist Church sponsored a youth trip to do missionary work. The trip ended with a whitewater rafting excursion. The youth pastor made the arrangements, and the youths were required to get a permission slip signed by their parents. Johnson gave verbal permission for her daughter Lindsay, and the pastor signed two documents on her behalf—an indemnity agreement and a release of liability with the rafting company. Dur- ing the trip, Lindsay’s raft flipped and she drowned. Her mother sued the rafting company. The release and indemnity clauses were argued as a defense. It was asserted that the clauses should not be enforced because they are against public policy. Who should win and why?
