Those 'we accept no liability for anything, ever' disclaimers are usually in violation of numerous pieces of consumer protection legislation.
That being said us little people are rarely ever able to exercise our rights under law.
I would expect most
marinas would blame the supplier of the cleat. As a user of the cleat you probably don't have any direct
legal connection to the cleat supplier. Therefore restricting your
legal redress options.
In reality you need a plan b when
docking on the rare occasion a cleat fails. Or a line or you trip and fall off, etc.
Docking rule number 1. Never enter the
dock faster than you are prepared to hit something.
