I'm just askin', because you know somebody would try to make the case that we're in charge and by bailing out, we were complicit in some way in a kid or kids getting hurt.
They are wearing pads, I'm not. There's 100 of them (plus the parents) and 3-5 of us. I don't think we could be held liable for staying the hellO out of the way.
