A oli osallistunut X Oy:n järjestämään tilaisuuteen, jonka ohjelmaan oli sisältynyt veneajelu yhtiön omistamalla niin sanotulla RIB-veneellä. A vaati käräjäoikeudessa X Oy:ltä veneajelun järjestäjänä vahingonkorvausta sillä perusteella, että hän oli loukannut selkänsä veneajelussa sen seurauksena, että veneen kuljettaja oli ajanut liian suurella tilannenopeudella ristiaallokkoon ottamatta huomioon vallinneita meriolosuhteita. X Oy vaati kanteen hylkäämistä lausuen muun ohella, että A oli ollut tietoinen veneajelun luonteesta ja hyväksynyt siihen liittyneen riskin eikä yhtiö ollut menetellyt tuottamuksellisesti. Kysymys tuomioistuimen asiallisesta toimivallasta. Ks. KKO:2017:24
