ASSUMPTION OF RISK
The defendant contends that the plaintiff assumed the risk of the harm that he suffered. To establish that the plaintiff assumed this risk, the defendant must show, by a preponderance of the evidence; that:
- The plaintiff actually knew and appreciated the particular risk or danger created by the defect;
- The plaintiff voluntarily encountered this risk while realizing the danger; and
- The plaintiffs decision to voluntarily encounter the known risk was unreasonable.
A person who thus assumes the risk is not entitled to recover for damages which resulted from the danger to which he exposed himself.
