1992: Bryant Murphy sustained injuries while working for his father's firm, Murphy Enterprises, when a platform on the Orbiter carnival ride, manufactured by Tivoli Enterprises (Tivoli) and sold to Murphy Enterprises by Exsaco Corporation (Exsaco), collapsed on top of him. Bryant Murphy brought this action against Tivoli and Exsaco, claiming that they either negligently manufactured or sold the Orbiter, or were strictly liable because the Orbiter was unreasonably dangerous when it left their 4 (8th Clr. 1992) hands. The jury absolved Tivoli of any liability and found Exsaco ten percent liable in negligence for Murphy's injuries, attributing ninety percent of the negligence which caused Murphy's injuries to "others." The jury calculated the damages at $236,13
