Jack attends a minor league baseball game in Missouri. While hes there, the mascot launches tightly wrapped t-shirts into the stands using a cannon that shoots the shirts out at speeds up to 50 miles per hour. Jack was sitting in the second row and carefully watching the game, paying no attention to the mascot and his t-shirt cannon. While he was focused on the game, the mascot launched a t-shirt out of the cannon that whacked Jack in the face and broke his nose. This required surgery to repair. Jack sued the minor league team for damages caused by the mascots t-shirt cannon. If the minor league team defends itself in this lawsuit an argues Jack assumed the risk of being hit by a t-shirt, why might a Missouri court disagree and rule in Jacks favor?
