How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “If the plaintiff’s conduct was entirely reasonable under all of .the circumstances, we find no basis in reason or equity for barring his [or her] recovery. Elimination of [Type 3 assumption of risk] as a separate defense avoids punishing reasonable conduct.”
• “If we assume a plaintiff has acted reasonably in regard to his [or her] own safety in deciding to confront the risk, then his [or her] act of confronting the risk may not be considered as ‘fault’ justifying an apportionment of damages.”
