T Shirt Cannon Injury Liability

Summary

In Missouri, a court might rule in Jacks favor if it finds that the risk of being hit by a t-shirt cannon was not an assumed risk of attending a baseball game. Assumption of risk generally applies to expected dangers like foul balls, not unexpected ones like high-speed t-shirt projectiles. The court may consider the cannons speed and force as unreasonably dangerous. Additionally, if there were no warnings or disclaimers about the t-shirt cannon, this could further support Jacks case. Understanding the commonality of such events in the community and the presence of any disclaimers can influence the courts decision.

Attending a minor league baseball game is not inherently risky. It was unexpected that the t-shirt fired out of a cannon could break someone’s nose Whether or not a court finds Jack assumed this risk would depend on how common attending minor league baseball games is in his community. Jack assumed the risk of being hit by a baseball, but not the risk of being hit by promotional items. This question is misleading; a Missouri court would find that Jack assumed all risks that would come from the experience of attending a sporting event and the court would rule in the minor league team’s favor.
Hey there! It seems like Jack's situation is quite complex. To better understand and provide more specific information, could you clarify if the minor league team has any disclaimers or warnings about the t-shirt cannon in their stadium?
