Taylor attends an outdoor music festival where various performances take place. During one of the acts, a stage prop malfunctions, causing debris to fly into the audience area. Taylor is struck by a piece of debris, resulting in an injury. Taylor decides to sue the event organizers for negligence in ensuring audience safety. The event organizers argue that Taylor knew about the potential dangers associated with attending such events and proceeded despite the risks. Which defense should the event organizers most appropriately assert in this negligence claim?
The appropriate defense is assumption of risk. Event organizers can argue that Taylor was aware of and voluntarily accepted the potential hazards inherent in attending an outdoor music festival, thereby limiting their liability for injuries resulting from those known risks.
