It's as Geonz said. In litigation, there's legal grounds and moral grounds. In court, all that matters is legal grounds...they're trying to appeal to a sense of morality by keeping folks from getting to court (and frankly hoping that some sympathetic judge starts the process of setting precedent...)
Sign it, be responsible for your own actions, and if someone else is negligent, you will retain all the protections that the law would otherwise provide.
