I read what that father said and I’m at a loss for words, except three, what an idiot.

Right away looking for someone to blame and probably hoping to cash in.

“I did not see in article, usually this type of activity requires a signed release and a waiver.
Since injured teen is a minor- dad probably signed”

You are probably right and it is legally wrong. Most jump operations have an exculpatory contract for participants. A parent signed exculpatory contract is not enforceable because parents cannot sign away the rights of a minor child.
