My personal inclination would be to let them come. A reasonable person isn't likely to find you at fault just because someone injures themself on your proper. But people aren't always reasonable and there is always a risk of liability when someone is engaged in risky activity and you happen to have the deeper pockets than them. Someone might fall into an old well, or trip on a old fence, etc.
A lawyer told me that although you can get someone to sign a waiver that they won't sue you, an individual can't waive the rights of his heirs to sue.
A few weeks ago here in Michigan there was a tanker fire that destroyed a brand new three million dollar overpass. The state is seeking damages from the driver who caused the accident, the owner of the tanker that burned, AND the owner of a third truck that happened to be in the vicinity of the accident. The driver of the third truck was credited with preventing a worse accident by getting his truck out of the path of the tanker, but that doesn't seem to matter.
