Against the organizers, probably, for organizing a large event with easily foreseeable risks that were not adequately mitigated.

Waivers and disclaimers are not a defense against negligently creating a risky situation.

Note I'm not saying I endorse this, just expecting it to happen based on the history of US civil law.

> Waivers and disclaimers are not a defense against negligently creating a risky situation.

Yes they are. People know the risks and choose to go, it's that simple as far as I can see.

I think any case would be dismissed outright. Although IANAL so maybe not.

> Yes they are. People know the risks and choose to go, it's that simple as far as I can see.

Not really. Event organizers are required to ensure their venue is safe, regardless of the public perception.

Not when it's something held in a national park like this. It's an organized camp site not a festival. And they are required to ensure it is safe within reason, and it seems like they did that/are doing that.

A history of greed where people can claim ignorance until they are paid off.

Pretty sure there's going to be more than a few against the organizers, and maybe the authorities for allowing it to go through despite the forecasts and not getting people out fast enough. Which is ironic considering the general (or at least loudest) philosophy of Burning Man goers is one of laissez-faire techno libertarianism
