choices

  1. Grant Daystar's motion, because Goodboy's refusal to purchase the safety device was an effective assumption of risk.
  2. Deny the motion, because Goodboy's negligence in failing to purchase the safety device was less than Daylight's negligence in manufacturing the unsafe press initially.

  4. Deny the motion, because since the press was inherently dangerous, Daylight was strictly liable.
