1952As Said in White v. McVicker, supra, 216 Iowa 90, 91 , 246 N.W. 385, 386 , “While the doctrine of contributory negligence and assumption of risk may arise under the same set of facts and sometimes thus overlap each other, yet we have consistently distinguished them and held that they are distinct and separate and must not be confounded with each other.” (Citations.) It is specially important not to confuse assumption of risk with contributory negligence in cases like this where contributory negligence is not an available defense.
