Luke Ellis, Talking About My Generation: Assumption of Risk and the Rights of Injured Concert Fans in the Twenty-First Century, 80 TEXAS L. REV. 607 (2002).

 

Abstract:

Ever crowd-surfed at a concert and wondered what happens if you are dropped?  This Note analyzes traditional assumption of risk and comparative negligence principles, focusing heavily on spectator injuries at sporting events, and applies them to the relatively novel, modern concert venue.  It offers three solutions—logistical, legislative, and legal—to address the growing problem of mosh-pit and crowd-crush injuries and deaths.  Ultimately, this Note offers the legal alternative as the most promising solution and suggests a judicial framework for evaluating modern concert injury cases.
