UHLENHOPP, Justice
(dissenting).
I agree with the result Justice Schultz would reach and with most of his dissenting opinion, but, without retreating from Goetzman, I would expressly hold that subjective assumption of risk constitutes a complete defense to negligence — as well as to recklessness and strict liability. By subjective assumption of risk I mean that the plaintiff is aware of the defendant’s tor-tious conduct and accepts the risk of it, as stated in King v. Barrett, 185 N.W.2d 210, 213 (Iowa 1971).
WOLLE, J., joins this dissent.
