I can sweat just thinking about how hot and humid it is outside. But I agree with the larger point that as a society we've become obsessed with safety, and suing others. So if you're responsible for taking a group of boy scouts (or any other youth group) for an outing, you preach the mantra of safety, because heavens forbid one of them ignores you and passes out from dehydration or dies, your ass is in a sling.

I got some pretty major sunburns as a boy scout in the 70's, I guess I need to see if any of my leaders are alive and sue them for any current and future skin cancers I have and/or will develop.

Personal responsibility, now that's not just become an oxymoron, it's almost unheard of anymore.
