ROSS, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
I would reverse the decision of the trial court and remand with directions to grant the motion to enter judgment N.O.Y. In my opinion there is no question but what plaintiff deliberately reached over a guard fence and stuck his hand into the press knowing full well the danger involved and knowing also that the inching button on the press could be utilized to safely correct the problem. This case illustrates the ridiculous state of the products liability law in most states. It is difficult to understand how a defendant can ever defend such a case when, as here, the plaintiff’s own negligence clearly was the cause of the accident.
