[Avodah] SoVar VeKibbel

[Meir Rabi]

I believe Rabbenu Tam suggests that those chaps who engage in jousting
matches as a form of entertaining the groom and bride, are not able to claim
financial compensation for damages suffered in those duels, since they have
understood the dangers and agreed to them. SoVar VeKibbel.

Is this not an argument that should equally apply to the game of throwing a
stone against a wall where the players try to catch and throw the stone back
or something like that? See Rashi Sanhedrin 77b. However in this case, if
someone gets killed, there may be a Golus sentence imposed or possibly it
may be more than a Shogeg in which case Golus will not grant immunity and he
must employ his own protection.
