If somebody is injured the towns liability insurance company writes a check.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it would be impractical to do. At least by making it illegal there will be some defense against litigation when someone gets hurt. You know except for the litigation and potential damage aspects, I really don't have a problem with people jumping (no I haven't done it myself). Actually I'm a little torn about another law to protect us, except for defense, protection of liberties and basic services (highways and plowing) government is not supposed to be a caretaker for its citizens and when it tries, it is not very good at it.
As far as the insurance company paying, actually it's you and I paying, via premiums and taxes, there's no free ride.

I agree with everything you said, part of the problem is our country is being run by lawyers.
