Andy decides to go skydiving for his 40th birthday. He signs a waiver, boards the plane and prepares for the jump. Everything is going smoothly until just before landing, a down draft forces Andy down at a much faster rate into the ground, causing injury to both of his legs. Andy will likely not be able to recover for his injuries under the defense of:
a. consent.
b. assumption of the risk.
c. negligence per se.
d. transferred intent.

According to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, assumption of risk refers to how a defendant can take a defence action by pointing out that there was a negligent action taken by the plaintiff which resulted to a plaintiff being injured.

Assumption of risk is a stated legal doctrine which means a person can not recover any damages for their sustained injury because they were responsible somehow to what happened to them; they exposed themselves to a risk factor.

For example ,a down draft forces Andy down at a much faster rate into the ground, causing injury to both of his legs. The fact that he went down at a faster rate can be accounted for in the assumption of risk.
