Short answer : NO. However , decisions such as this is why why have courts, and juries and complicated jury instructions.
There could be problems with the waiver, unpon it's face,that invalidates all or part of the waiver; the undertstanding of the parties as to potentional risk, legal duty, how much negligence on thepart of all parties, concepts of "inherent" risk, recklessness, malfeasence, and a host of other concepts; and various doctrines of property damage and personal injury, not to mention and tort statutes, and a hundred years of "modern" case law.
Every case is unique.
I do not know if you are asking because you want to create an d"iron clad" waiver or someoen is trying to convince you , that yousigned an iron clad waiver, what ever the case and conference with an experienced personal injury attorney.

I can offer one thought that would prove my anser of "NO"; if such a waiver could be created, few businesses or professions would need liability insurance.
