You keep talking about "death doesn't automatically render a contract unenforceable" (the rest I never brought up) but the person you were responding to wasn't presuming that death renders contracts unenforceable nor were they talking about death but rather the conditions surrounding death - specifically asking if there was gross negligence. We see this all the time with all sorts of activities that require the signing of waivers which then become absolutely useless when it comes out that someone hosed up in a terrible way and it lead to a major injury or death.


I'm more than happy to clarify anything I'm being unclear.

I'm not a lawyer, but I do get tired of the lawyer types who stop all forms of discussion on a particular issue because the wrong magic word was used rather than be willing to point out, "X doesn't work, but here are these related concepts that make more sense". Instead, you just ended it at "death doesn't automatically nullify contracts".
