Neal, a twelve-year-old, buys a pair of skis from Outdoor Outfitters (OO), telling the salesperson that he has never been skiing but really wants to do it. The salesperson urges Neal to take a lesson in the sport before attempting a run, but Neal ignores the advice. On the first run, Neal loses control, hits a tree, and is injured. Neal files a suit against OO, alleging that it was negligent to have sold the skis to him, when he was clearly too young and inexperienced.Issue:How might OO defend itself? Define, explain and decide
