Dumas v. Pike County, Miss. (S.D.Miss. 1986) 642 F.Supp. 131-Nothing in Mississippi statute providing that citizen shall have the right to engage in water sports in public waterways at their own risk relieved landowner of liability for maintaining a dangerous condition on his land. -Provision of Mississippi statute entitled “Application of Chapter,” providing that chapter of statute protecting from liability, landowner who allowed his land to be used by public, would not be available unless public notice of availability of lands for public use was published once annually in newspaper of general circulation, and thus landowner's failure to comply with statutory notice provisions resulted in protections of statute not being available to him.
