Listen Hat Trick Inc. manufactures hockey helmets. Mitchell is a young, talented hockey player with a bright future. While wearing a Hat Trick helmet, Mitchell is knocked into the boards (something that often happens in hockey games) and suffers a serious head injury. Mitchell decides to sue Hat Trick for manufacturer's liability. Will Mitchell win? The issue is whether the helmet was properly designed and manufactured. If Mitchell can show that the helmet was not designed and manufactured in accordance with appropriate standards, he will be successful. Hat Trick will not be responsible because Mitchell voluntarily assumed the risk of a head injury by playing hockey, and the injury was caused by an event that is common in hockey games. Yes. A hockey helmet should protect players against head injuries that may happen in hockey games. The manufacturer will be liable if the heet does not provide this protection. Mitchell will only be successful if he can prove that the manufacturer of the helmet did not include a warning that playing hockey is a dangerous sport
