Questions
A mаn аnd his neighbоr were аttending a leadership cоnference at a cоastal resort. While walking along the beach, they spotted a 20-foot cliff overlooking the ocean. The man challenged his neighbor to climb up the rocks and jump off the cliff with him. The man knew his neighbor was afraid of heights, but also realized his neighbor was very competitive. The man said, “This will prove you’re no wimp. To make it easier, we'll jump together.” On the man's count, they joined hands and both jumped at the same time. However, upon hitting the water, the man's foot awkwardly came down on the neighbor’s wrist, breaking it. The neighbor brought an action against the man for negligence. What is the key issue to be determined by the finder of fact?
