Man Burned by Burning Man Can’t Sue Festival

“The risk of injury to those who voluntarily decide to partake in the commemorative ritual at Burning Man is self-evident,” Justice Ignazio Ruvolo wrote.

…”if there ever was a case to apply the assumption of risk doctrine, this is it. This is person who was a well-educated man and experienced with the festival and appreciated the danger, who voluntarily exposed himself to a much higher degree of risk by walking into the Burning Man.”
