## Opinion text

BRYAN, Judge,
concurring in the result.
In my opinion, the holdings of the main opinion are justified by the law of Alabama regarding intervening and superseding cause, contributory negligence, and assumption of the risk, and, therefore, the main opinion’s reliance on caselaw from jurisdictions other than Alabama is unnecessary.
