Palam club is not liable since Vir should have guarded himself against worked related risks

Assumption of risk is a type of defense available for most personal injury and negligence lawsuits. Assumption of risk arises when a plaintiff knowingly and voluntarily assumes a risk of harm connected with the negligence of the defendant. If the plaintiff has assumed such a risk, they cannot recover damages for any harm resulting from the defendant’s conduct, even if the defendant was negligent or reckless.
In order to prove the defense of the assumption of risk, the defendant must show that:
1. The plaintiff had actual knowledge of the risk involved in the conduct of the activity.
2. The plaintiff voluntarily accepted the risk, either expressly or impliedly.
