Best v. Williamsport Staple Co.

67 A. 205, 218 Pa. 202, 1907 Pa. LEXIS 481
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania·Decided May 13, 1907·No. Appeal, No. 265·Published·Cited by 5 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam,

Whether the absence of a guard was negligence in the de[204] fendant, or whether it was the proximate cause of the injury, need not be discussed. The plaintiff’s action in attempting to clean the rolls while they were in motion was an unnecessary and voluntary exposure to manifest danger, for the consequences of which his own negligence is alone responsible.

Judgment is affirmed.
