You dropped you own it is a strange attitude in a business/formal
education situation, at least to me. I am a photographer, an
educator and teach in large format workshops. In fact, Richard
Ritter and I are doing one this weekend. The point being that every
piece of photo equipment that I own is insured as part of my business
policy. If someone drops a lens at a workshop I will be very very
very unhappy and may try to collect something from them but the
bottom line is that my recourse is my replacement value insurance
policy. I can't understand any kind of a business that lets people
use its equipment, or otherwise puts it at risk by taking it
outdoors, etc. .... doing so without being adequately insured. In
this instance a school is a business. Sorry for sounding harsh but
the cost of insurance only seems expensive until you have one
uninsured loss like this.
