Appeal dismissed. Court held volenti did not apply because the deceased did not voluntarily and unreasonably assume the risk; defendants failed to prove they took reasonable steps to bring the exemption clause to the deceased's notice so the clause was not incorporated; small estate left by deceased did not justify deduction from awarded damages; the damages award (multiplier 16, dependency assessment) was not excessive on the facts and was affirmed.
