Supreme Court of North Carolina October 3, 1928 (Maulden v. High Point Chair Co.)

BeogdeN, J.

The chief question of law presented is this: Under what circumstances will the doctrine of assumption of risk bar recovery in personal injury actions?

The evidence discloses that the plaintiff was an experienced employee and was fully aware of the fact that the method of putting on belting, adopted by the defendant, was attended with danger.
