You are incorrect. Period.
Liability does not go away simply because you say you don't want to be responsible for it. If that were the case you could wear a shirt saying "Not responsible for damages", pop a bumper sticker with it on your car, and start ramming into every car and the road and telling them it's their fault for not getting out of your way when you clearly disclaimed liability.
If I sign a piece of paper that says you own me, you do not legally me, because ownership of another individual is illegal.
If you're not a lawyer, don't have a background in law, have not had to take college level business law, have not been in a suit regarding liability and do not have any specific documentation to back you up you do not need to be dispensing legal advice regarding what is or is not enforceable because your opinion does not dictate fact. Clauses like that are specifically created to make end users feel helpless and reduce the number of potential claims. They don't actually create a legally binding contract or limitation, they create a purely mental one so that victims feel like it's their own fault and out of their control.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
