FORD v. POLARIS INDUSTRIES ( Part I )
A decision regarding a strict products liability theory, and primary assumption of the risk doctrine. Plaintiff sustained severe orifice injuries after falling off the rear of a two-seater Polaris personal watercraft. The jet-powered nozzle propelled a high-pressure stream of water that tore apart her internal organs. Today she uses a colostomy bag, urinates through a catheter, and her lower right torso and leg are numb from nerve damage.
