The correct answer is true. The assumption of risk defense requires that the plaintiff had full knowledge of the specific risks and voluntarily chose to accept them. If either knowledge or voluntary acceptance is absent, the defense fails. This ensures that the plaintiff's consent to the risk was informed and not coerced, aligning with the principles of fairness in tort law.
