Andrews, Judge,
dissenting.
I must respectfully dissent. The majority’s analysis by label (assumption of risk) is inappropriate and incorrect. By whatever label, the charge at issue correctly states a principle of Georgia law. Southland Butane Gas Co. v. Blackwell, 211 Ga. 665 (88 SE2d 6) (1955). There was evidence to support the jury’s application, if it so chose, of the rule. Accordingly, it was not error for the trial judge to give the charge.
I join in Judge Beasley’s dissent with respect to Division 5. I am authorized to state that Presiding Judge Banke joins in this dissent.
