Padma is playing soccer on an outdoor field as part of a summer adult soccer league. The league required Padma to sign a waiver form that released the league and its employees from liability for any injuries Padma suffered while playing. Before one of the games, the grounds crew for the league was doing some maintenance on the field. One of the groundskeepers left some equipment of the field. The equipment was hard to see in the turf of the field. During the game, Padma did not see the equipment, tripped over it while running, and fell hard to the ground, breaking her arm and bruising her ribs. With respect to the defense of assumption of the risk, Padma is likely:

b)

Barred from recovery for her injuries because she should have seen the equipment.

c)

Not barred from recovery because the injuries did were not a known, reasonable, or inherent risk in playing soccer.

d)

Not barred from recovery because the injuries were caused by a groundskeeper and not the league.
