If Oz & NZ law is like UK (and a lot of it is and they cross cite) then it is a defence – volenti non fit injuria – if you voluntarily join an activity that you know is likely to cause you injury then there is no liability. Obvs that is the simple position but it does mean in general you have to go further than ordinary negligence/duty of care, etc to win if a pro athlete in a contact sport (including for criminal liability). Not my area of law though…
