Joe and his friends went to watch the South Carolina Stingrays hockey team play. It was a very exciting game full of intense action on the ice. Unknown to Joe, the Stingrays were holding their charity drive 'teddy bear toss' during the game. After their first goal, fans throw stuffed toys onto the ice so every child receives something special during the holiday season. Joe was hit in the eye by a stuffed bear and suffered a severe eye injury as a result and files a negligence lawsuit against the Stingrays. What is the likely outcome of the case?- Joe will lose because under 'assumption of the risk' defense, the Stingrays will successfully argue that by attending a hockey game which is a violent sport, Joe assumed the risk of being injured.- Joe will lose because it's against public policy to file a legal claim based on a charitable event.- The court will grant the Stingrays a motion to dismiss because it is a frivolous lawsuit.- Joe will win because being injured by a flying teddy bear is not a risk inherent in watching a hockey game and the defense of 'assumption of the risk' will not apply.
