Highlight

A condition that creates an open and obvious danger may limit the landowner's duty to its lawful entrants, but if the harm is expected from the standpoint of the landowner, the landowner is not relieved from his duty to keep the premises reasonably safe under the circumstances.
When a landowner has reason to anticipate that a lawful entrant will proceed to encounter a condition, despite its open and obvious nature, the factfinder must still consider whether the landowner acted reasonably under the circumstances.
