waivers and releases are usually broad in the exclusions of liability. i would have to read the entire agreement. however, it is very difficult to negate or 'get around' a waiver. ed dimon, esq.
It might waive any liability for negligence. It would not waive any liability for acts that were illegal, or not in compliance with the law. Broad based liability waivers are difficult to write, and difficult to overcome because the thought is that the waiver is necessary because you are engaging in some activity in which accident and/or injury may occur. Whether a specific act of recklessness or negligence would be sufficient to overcome the waiver of liability is a fact based question that would have to be decided by the court. after a judge hears the specific facts of the case.
