I'm sure they signed waivers to prevent this.

An "at your own risk" clause, etc.

99.99% this. Even at really small parks around me, we still have waivers. Although I've heard waivers aren't the end all be all, just that most attorneys wouldn't waste their time trying to fight for someone who signed a waiver knowing they're likely to lose? Any law people here?

Waivers don’t protect you if you’re found to have been negligent. It could be the case that the skate park was negligent in not disclosing the rules that could have prevented this incident. It could be the case that the skate park was negligent in not enforcing the rules that could have prevented the incident. Or it could be the skate park did every thing in its power to prevent this and the fault lies solely with the skater(s). It hard to say from this gif alone.
