Is this typical for a "hold harmless"?

[Brendon K.]

So I'm in Texas and am overhauling a house's siding, roofing, and windows all at once. Initial thoughts when I read this are:

• What's the worst that can happen under this? Well, "your" (their) unqualified minimum wage worker uses a tool that wasn't meant for removing siding and ends up vibrating half my wall down and you're claiming it's not your fault?
• Or worse, maybe they use a reciprocating saw incorrectly on the wrong beam and it splinters and tears a hole into one of the people inside. You're saying that you're not responsible for death caused by massive incompetence?

I'm looking around for options still but I'm just curious if contractors are always this insane when avoiding legal obligations
