§ 75C.002.Limited Liability

The protection, following the campground template with one addition.

A cavern entity is not liable for a participant injury if, at the time of the injury, the prescribed warning was posted in accordance with the posted-warning section.

Note the timing reference. This chapter measures at the time of the injury; the campground chapter measures at the time of the activity from which the injury arises. The difference is unlikely to matter often.

The four exceptions track the campground chapter: the entity's negligence with regard to the safety of the cavern area or participant; a potentially dangerous condition at the cavern area, including inside the cavern, of which the entity knew or reasonably should have known; failure to train or improper training of an employee actively involved; and injury intentionally caused.

The phrase "including inside the cavern at the cavern area" is the addition, and it forecloses an argument the setting invites — that conditions inside a natural cave are not conditions "at" the property, or are inherent rather than known hazards.

They are covered, and an operator that knows of a loose ceiling, a flooded passage, or a drop is outside the protection.

Subsection (c) makes the limitation additional to other limitations of liability.
