Stripper shoe lawsuit- is this a good lawsuit?

I read that a man here in Florida is suing a strip club because a stripper's shoe flew off during a dance, which shattered glass and then injured him. Is this sort of thing a good lawsuit? Or do people assume the risk of shoes and other "objects" hitting them when they go into strip clubs?

Probably not analogous to a baseball game, where there are all sorts of notices of the assumed risks, most of which are also known to those with even a passing familiarity with how the game is played. It also helps that players usually sign bats and the like that fly into the crowd causing injuries.

So - probably not an assumed risk. I'm sure the club's insurance provider will pay something, assuming the guy had any compensable injuries.

Maybe if the stripped had signed the shoe, this whole thing could have been avoided . . .
