3613 Under the doctrine of primary assumption of the risk, an instructor conducting a course in unarmed defensive tactics did not owe a duty to protect a police officer / student from injuries resulting from a training maneuver, because sustaining such injuries was an inherent risk of the exercise; the independent acts exception to the firefighter's rule did not apply, because defendant's act was not independent of plaintiff's reason for being on the scene.CitationHAMILTON v MARTINELLI (Unarmed Defensive Tactics) 110 CA4 1012 [See: Civil Code 1714.9; Knight v Jewett 3 C4 296; www.advance-tapes.com]
