David Schoneboom sued the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill after he was injured by a bunch of slam dancers.
When the New York Supreme Court granted B.B. King's dismissal request, Schoneboom appealed to the Appellate Division, First Department.
Apparently, Schoneboom had been watching the performance from a distance but had opted to move to a closer (and more perilous) position.
Since he assumed the risk of getting injured, the AD1 didn't think his personal-injury case could survive the thrashing.
Was he a pushover?
