• affirmative

Explanation:

Assumption of risk is an affirmative defense which may be available to some defendants in personal injury lawsuits. This law is based on the fact that some individuals engage in activities voluntarily and when such activities result to an injury, those individuals cannot sue for negligence theory because they chose to do the dangerous activity themselves so they cannot blame others. The plaintiff can prove that the defendant was aware of the risk but voluntarily took on that danger.
