The following excerpt is from Higgenbottom v. Noreen, 586 F.2d 719 (9th Cir. 1978):
The rule of presumptive negligence has been applied so far only in vehicle operation and equipment cases, though the language of the holdings has not always been limited to such facts. See, e. g., James v. Carnation Co., 278 Or. 65, 76, 562 P.2d 1192 (1978).
