If something were to go wrong on the retreat would you think there would be a risk of the relationship being of legal consequence?

Don't mean to sound like a clown but You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying!

Go wrong as in retreat was boring? I guess I will trust judgment of that engineer a bit less but otherwise I can't think of any consequences.

Go wrong as in somebody died? Pretty sure conflict of interest will be about 10th thing anyone will worry about.

Go wrong as in rafting guide bantering sexist jokes? Happen to my team without any conflict of interest. Asked him to stop as soon as I heard it, reported to HR, explained situation and nothing came out of it. Again I can't imaging conflict of interest will change anything here.
