Actually, it's real simple. They're covering their legal backsides. If they don't (sometimes even if they do), they get sued along with whomever else can be implicated.
I'm afraid that if injuries, deaths and resulting litigation don't end, the backlash will be toward (although I don't think it can ever be as bad) the In Loco Parentis type rules and regulations that we had to deal with when I was in college.
This has nothing to do with Political Correctness. It has to do with finances. A million dollar lawsuit here -- another one there -- pretty soon you're talking about some real money.
