GARRARD, Judge,
concurring in part and concurring in result in part.
I concur with the majority except as to its treatment of Hanas' tendered instructions concerning open and obvious danger and fellow-servant doctrine. Concerning those instructions, I concur in result.
It was not error to refuse the open and obvious danger instruction because its contents were adequately covered by the court's instruction on contributory negligence.
It was not error to refuse the fellow-servant instruction because it did not correctly state the law. The fellow-servant *68doctrine applies to an employer's liability based upon the doctrine of respondeat superior. It does not bar personal liability on the part of the negligent fellow servant. See Prosser & Keeton on Torts (5th Ed.) pp. 571-72.
