Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 421:5 says (in my own translation):
Two who wrestled together, and one knocked the other to the ground so that he fell and got blinded, he's not liable.
The S'ma explains:
The reason for this is: Since they both wrestled willingly, each intending to knock down his fellow, and each knowing that it's impossible to be ...

First of all, I have to correct a common misconception in your question: that one must say Amen in order to fulfill one's obligation in the blessing. This is only true if the one saying the blessing is not fulfilling his obligation then as well. In the vast majority of cases where the one saying the blessing is fulfilling his obligation with you, you can ...

The Mishna Berurah (sk 4) quotes this Taz approvingly, but the ...

As far as I know, the process is exactly the same as when you first put it up and should be done promptly. The only discussion surrounds whether a new blessing is recited. Pitchei Teshuva (YD 289:1) compares the case to one whose Tallit fell off unexpectedly who needs to recite a new blessing upon redonning it (Shulchan Aruch OC 8:14). The Aruch HaShulchan ...

New answer:
This is clearly a case of a Shomer-Chinam; asking somebody to
safeguard your item without being paid for it.
The Halacha is that a Shomer-Chinam is not responsible for any damages
unless the damage was caused by his negligence.
So if the camera dropped because he balanced it on his head, for
example, then he would be expected ...
