Practice question
A competent participant actually knows and appreciates a particular ordinary risk inherent in a lawful sporting activity, freely chooses it, and is injured by that very risk. No overriding prohibition or unaccepted additional danger is involved. What is the significance?
- Those established facts can support assumption of that particular risk
- They necessarily prove acceptance of every unknown danger too
- Participation automatically waives all future fraud
- The defense never applies to any sport
- The defendant may rewrite the participant's knowledge afterward
