This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Jones (P) was entitled to use D's facilities for skydiving. As part of that contract, there was an exculpatory clause that eliminate liability for Dressel (D) but that at an extra fee the facilities could be used without the exculpatory clause. P was a minor. P suffered serious injuries when the plane used crashed shortly after takeoff. The trial judge held the clause valid and granted D's summary judgment. P appealed, and the appeals court found that even though P was a minor when he signed the contract, he affirmed the contract when he reached majority.
