Default Private airport insurance?

On a similar note: Washington State did pass a law several years ago that
says that horse-riding is an inherently dangerous activity, and the horse
owner can't be held liable if someone falls off the person's horse (or words
to that effect).


CT has a GREAT landowner liability law that protects landowners from
many lawsuits from hikers, mountain bikers, trail riding equestrians,
fisherman, or any other potentially dangerous activity that the
landowner allows by strangers. It is limited to non-motorized
activities, and the protection dissappears if the landowner charges a
fee for access.

You'd think something similar would be useful to privately owned airports.
