There are so many bikeparks (at least here in Germany /Austria) that I would want to sue Just because they have so many bad and dangerous features built, or have Just zero maintenance.
I would not want all responsibilty being taken away from the park owner by signing a waver.
I remember there was a court in Austria that had to judge a similar claim by someone who participated in a skiing event and got hurt badly - kind of a blind race enduro-style. There was a sharp left turn behind a small bump that the guy jumped and so missed the turn and went down the gorge. There were signs warning, but the judgement was that this was not sufficient, as at racing speed no one would expect a sharp left turn behind such a bump...the race promoter lost.
