The appellant was injured during a snowmobile race when he collided with a signal official who had moved onto the track.
He sued the race association and the official for negligence.
The Supreme Court of Canada upheld the lower courts' dismissal of the action, finding that a waiver clause in the race entry form validly exonerated the respondents from liability.
The Court held that the clause was not unconscionable or contrary to public policy, as the appellant voluntarily participated in a dangerous sport without any social or economic pressure.
