I’m doing some research into persons held accountable after a sporting accident where the people involved were all friends.
Has there been a case, where a group of friends were doing a particular hazardous sport, out with the working environment, and being held accountable?
An example would be a group of friends go mountain biking on some steep trails one is seriously injured or dies. Can someone in the group be held accountable?

Interesting question.
I would guess that accountability would only be required if there was a criminal case ensuing.
On the suggested mountain biking example, I'm not sure how this could happen. However in football games, there have been tackles for which individuals have been prosecuted for assault.
I guess it comes fown to the duty owed, duty breached, harm done argument.

The finding in such cases could well be "volenti non fit injuria"?
