"to a willing person, injury is not done...is a common law doctrine which states that if someone willingly places themselves in a position where harm might result, knowing that some degree of harm might result, they are not able to bring a claim against the other party in tort or delict."
Ah. Maybe the best to protect the consumer would be to rename it AirGoat or AirDarwinAward. More seriously, the people using those services will probably be from a too poor background to come across this blog, and don't have the education to understand what's happening to them. Social class discrepancies at its finest.

For those who didn't study Latin or law :p
