volenti non fit injuria

volenti non fit injuria
/vowlentay non fit injuriya/ The maxim "volenti non fit injuria" means that if one, knowing and comprehending the danger, voluntarily exposes himself to it, though not negligent in so doing, he is deemed to have assumed the risk and is precluded from a recovery for an injury resulting therefrom. Munson v. Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, 186 Neb. 778, 186 N.W.2d 492, 494.
This is an affirmative defense that should be pleaded under Fed.R.Civil P. 8. Tyler v. Dowell, Inc., C.A.N.M., 274 F.2d 890.
