STRUTZ, Judge
(dissenting).
I cannot concur with the majority in this case. I have carefully read the entire record and can find no evidence of any negligence on the part of the defendant. Thus there is no material issue as to any substantial fact in the evidence. Consequently, I agree with the trial court that the defendant is entitled to summary judgment.
I would further point out that even if, by some stretch of the imagination, it could be determined that there is some evidence of negligence on the part of the defendant, the record clearly discloses that the plaintiff assumed the risk incidental to the operation of the apparatus which he was manipulating at the time of the accident.
I would affirm the summary judgment of the trial court.
