Sorry, I thought I put Alaska in my post, but in reading it again, I didn't. That's what happens when I post at 2:00 in the morning. To answer your question, yes it was in Alaska. The assistant guide was standing behind the hunter/client. The client was kneeling down to make the shot. The client supposedly wounded the bear and the guide gave the assistant the order to shoot the bear. Just as the assistant pulled the trigger, the client stood up and was shot in the back of the head, dying instantly.
I have never dealt with a Hold Harmless Agreement before the accident. I have seen many used in settling claims. What I haven't seen is a Hold Harmless, signed before the accident, being attacked on its vailidity. If I get some time later today, I'll do a little research on it so that I can feel better about signing the stupid thing when I go to this game farms on the Eastern Shore.
