Please use legal reasoning (FIRAC) to respond to this assignment.
J.T., a minor, is a motocross competitor. At Monster Mountain MX Park, he signs a waiver of liability to "hold harmless the park for any loss due to negligence." Riding around the Monster Mountain track, J.T. rides over a blind jump, becomes airborne, and crashes into a tractor that he does not see until he is in the air. To recover for his consequent injuries, J.T. files a suit against Monster Mountain, alleging negligence for its failure to remove the tractor from the track. Does the liability waiver bar this claim?
