A Beijing court ruled that a soccer field operator is 70% liable for a player's injury, despite the player assuming some risk. The player was injured when colliding with a metal post on the field. The court found the field lacked proper safety measures and timely assistance, while the opposing player had no gross negligence. The ruling clarifies that "assumption of risk" applies between participants, not absolving venue operators of their safety obligations.
