Explanation :
Abnormally dangerous (or ultrahazardous)activities are those necessarily involving a risk of harm that cannot be eliminated by the exercise of reasonable care.Among the activities treated as abnormally dangerous are blasting,crop dusting,stunt flying,and,in one case,the transportation of large quantities of gasoline by truck.(Most courts,however,would be unlikely to label the latter as abnormally dangerous. )
