A few things....
The idea that the fan should be aware of risks should only apply to the game itself. Not stuff that happens between innings. It's not like we're talking about a foul ball here.
It's pretty simple. If a person wants a hot dog, toss him one. If the person doesn't, leave him alone. If he's not paying attention, pretty obvious that you shouldn't toss him one.
That's where the negligence comes in. Dude didn't want a hot dog and was tossed one anyway. Why was he tossed one? Because the mascot was showing off and throwing no-look hot dog tosses behind his back which means he had less control for where the hot dog was going. Ever throw a ball behind your back? How accurate are you? Even dude was paying attention, wouldn't it still catch him by surprise when a hot dog he doesn't want gets thrown at him from a really weird angle at a low arc?
