¶ 1. Plaintiff Peter Blair, an injured worker, appeals from two decisions of the Caledonia Superior Court in favor of his empoyer Lydall/Thermal Acoustical, Inc. Plaintiffs arm was crushed by an industrial press while he was working as a temporary employee at Lydall’s St. Johnsbury plant. His suit against Lydall was based on two theories. First, plaintiff sought to collect from Lydall a $750,000 stipulated judgment entered in his favor against Stamp Tech, Inc., a firm that Lydall had hired to install safety devices on the press, claiming that Lydall had expressly agreed to indemnify Stamp Tech for such a liability. Second, plaintiff alleged that Lydall intentionally injured him by, among other acts, removing a hard guard on the machine, which made plaintiffs continued use of the machine certain to result in injury. The superior court’s first decision granted Lydall’s motion for partial summary judgment on the contractual indemnity issue. In the second decision, the superior court granted Lydall’s motion for summary judgment on the intentional tort issue, holding that plaintiffs common law tort claim against Lydall was barred by the exclusivity provisions of Vermont’s Workers’ Compensation Act. We conclude that, in both of its decisions, the superior court prematurely resolved disputed issues of material fact; therefore, we reverse and remand.
¶2. The record before the superior court on these summary judgment motions revealed the following facts. Lydall purchased a Komatsu 200-ton press machine and hired Stamp Tech, a Connecticut corporation, to install safety guards, known as light curtains, required for Lydall to operate the press in accordance with applicable worker-safety regulations. According to the record, light curtains project an infrared beam that, if penetrated, will stop the press to avoid injury to those operating the machine. Stamp Tech’s technicians made two visits to Lydall’s facility in St. Johnsbury to assess the press and to install the light curtains. The parties dispute whether Lydall installed an additional hard *373guard on the press between Stamp Tech’s visits and whether the hard guard was in place at the time of plaintiffs accident.
¶ 3. After being injured, plaintiff initially sued Stamp Tech, alleging that Stamp Tech’s negligence in installing the light curtains resulted in his injuries. Stamp Tech reached a settlement with plaintiff. There appears to be no dispute that, before plaintiff and Stamp Tech reached a settlement, Lydall received notice of the suit and the settlement negotiations. Lydall declined to participate in the settlement negotiations because it disputed the validity of the indemnification agreement of which Stamp Tech claimed to be the beneficiary. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Stamp Tech accepted a judgment of $750,000 against it. Stamp Tech was apparently judgment-proof; therefore, plaintiff agreed not to execute the judgment against Stamp Tech. In return, Stamp Tech assigned to plaintiff its right to seek contractual indemnification from Lydall.
¶ 4. In March 2005, plaintiff sued Lydall, seeking indemnification on Stamp Tech’s behalf. Plaintiff also alleged that Lydall intentionally created the dangerous condition that caused his injury by, among other acts, removing a hard guard from the press intended to safeguard workers. According to plaintiff, Vermont’s Workers’ Compensation Act did not preclude him from suing Lydall, his employer, on the latter claim.
¶ 5. In May and July 2006, respectively, plaintiff and Lydall filed cross-motions for partial summary judgment on the indemnification claim. We describe the parties’ cross-motions in turn.
¶ 6. Lydall advanced two principal arguments in support of its motion for partial summary judgment. First, Lydall acknowledged that it had entered into a contract with Stamp Tech for the installation of light curtains to safeguard its press; however, Lydall also argued that it did not receive Stamp Tech’s “Terms and Conditions,” which contained both the indemnification clause here at issue and a choice of law provision stating that the laws of Connecticut would apply to the contract.1 According to Lydall, this latter factual issue was immaterial; notwithstanding the choice of law provision, Connecticut law could not apply to the indem*374nification clause because, assuming plaintiff’s characterization of Connecticut case law to be true, courts in Connecticut have interpreted similarly broadly worded clauses to allow an indemnitee to be indemnified for its own negligence. Lydall argued that such an interpretation of the indemnification clause would violate Vermont public policy, which requires such clauses to be specific and precise, and could not, therefore, be enforced by a Vermont court. As a second ground for granting its motion, Lydall asserted that Stamp Tech’s settlement with plaintiff was collusive and unenforceable because, according to Lydall’s theory of the case, Stamp Tech faced no liability and voluntarily accepted the entry of a $750,000 judgment against it — which sum plaintiff could only collect by pursuing an indemnification claim on behalf of Stamp Tech against Lydall.
¶ 7. Plaintiff, in opposition to Lydall’s motion, attempted to refocus the superior court’s inquiry on summary judgment. Specifying a variety of disputed factual issues that, in his view, precluded the superior court from deciding the entirety of the indemnification issue on summary judgment, plaintiff sought a limited determination that the indemnification clause conceivably could be enforced in either Vermont or Connecticut. In plaintiff’s view, neither state’s laws could support a conclusion that the indemnification provision was void as against public policy. Plaintiff addressed Lydall’s allegation of collusion by noting that (1) the party whose actions caused his injuries remained a disputed issue of material fact; (2) Stamp Tech tried, in good faith, to involve Lydall in its settlement negotiations with plaintiff; and (3) Stamp Tech settled — notwithstanding its belief that it should not be held liable — only after consulting with third-party counsel regarding its potential liability exposure.
¶ 8. The superior court ruled on the parties’ cross-motions approximately a year later, in June 2007, without a hearing or supplemental briefing. The superior court did not address the choice of law and validity issues raised by the parties. Instead, the court concluded that plaintiff abandoned his claim against Stamp Tech by filing an independent lawsuit against Lydall based largely on Lydall’s alleged removal of the hard guard from the machine. At the same time, the court noted that Stamp Tech had settled the earlier case — conceding its own liability — while maintaining, for purposes of this case, that Lydall also bore responsibility for plaintiff’s injuries. The superior court interpreted this series of *375events, in conjunction with plaintiff’s agreement to not seek to execute its judgment against Stamp Tech, as suggesting that Stamp Tech had colluded with plaintiff to settle the case when it had no actual liability. Therefore, the superior court held that plaintiff must show Stamp Tech’s liability in full to avoid summary judgment. Because plaintiff failed to do so, it dismissed the indemnification claim.
¶ 9. Lydall then moved for summary judgment on the remaining issue of whether Vermont’s Workers’ Compensation Act rendered it immune from common law tort claims brought by its statutory employees, such as plaintiff. The superior court granted the motion, holding that plaintiff had not put forth any evidence suggesting that Lydall acted with the requisite mental state required to remove the case from the exclusivity provisions of Vermont’s Workers’ Compensation Act.
¶ 10. Plaintiff appeals, contending that the indemnification provision was part of the contract between Stamp Tech and Lydall and is valid and enforceable pursuant to both Vermont and Connecticut law. Plaintiff further argues that both of the superior court’s decisions on summary judgment resolved disputed issues of material fact. Finally, plaintiff claims that the superior court erred in denying plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration of the court’s decision on indemnification in light of facts discovered in the time between the filing of the parties’ motions and the issuance of the decision.
¶ 11. We review motions for summary judgment de novo, and we have consistently held that “summary judgment is appropriate only when the record clearly shows that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Bacon v. Lascelles, 165 Vt. 214, 218, 678 A.2d 902, 905 (1996); see also V.R.C.P. 56(c)(3). In reviewing a ruling on a summary judgment motion, we consider “the entire setting of the case, including the affidavits, depositions, admissions, . . . and similar material on file to determine the existence of a genuine issue of material fact.” Pierce v. Riggs, 149 Vt. 136, 138, 540 A.2d 655, 657 (1987). In conducting this review, we afford the nonmoving party “the benefit of all reasonable doubts and inferences.” Carr v. Peerless Ins. Co., 168 Vt. 465, 476, 724 A.2d 454, 461 (1998) (citation omitted).
*376I.
¶ 12. We turn first to the superior court’s decision on indemnification. The superior court erred because the linchpin of its decision — that Stamp Tech faced no liability — was a disputed issue of fact. It was apparent on the face of the papers before the court that the question of fault remained a central issue for resolution in this case and a subject of continuing discovery, as we discuss below. As a result, the superior court’s inference that the parties colluded in the settlement rests on a faulty premise.
¶ 13. To support its assertion that the settlement between plaintiff and Stamp Tech was collusive, Lydall directed the superior court to the depositions of Anthony Amato, the chief executive officer and owner of Stamp Tech, and Edward Lanoue, an employee of Stamp Tech. According to Lydall, Amato’s deposition testimony indicated that Stamp Tech had a “complete defense” to plaintiffs negligence suit. Lydall contends that Stamp Tech might have asserted a “complete defense” had it argued at trial that, but for Lydall’s removal of the hard guard, which Lydall had bolted onto the machine press, plaintiffs injuries would have been avoided. According to Lydall, armed with such a defense, Stamp Tech could not settle with plaintiff in good faith because it faced no liability. Lanoue testified at his deposition in accordance with Amato, stating that he did not believe that Stamp Tech should bear responsibility for plaintiffs accident. The superior court found Stamp Tech’s positions inconsistent and drew an inference of collusion.
¶ 14. When we look at the entire setting of the case, however, affording plaintiff, the nonmoving party, “the benefit of all reasonable doubts and inferences,” Carr, 168 Vt. at 476, 724 A.2d at 461 (citation omitted), it is apparent that the superior court’s inference of collusion was unwarranted.
¶ 15. From the inception of plaintiffs suits against Stamp Tech and Lydall, the parties disputed who was at fault for plaintiffs injuries. On this point, Stamp Tech’s position has been consistent. It did not believe that it should be held responsible for plaintiffs injuries, but recognized that, at trial, it could be held responsible. In other words, even if Stamp Tech agreed with Lydall that it had a complete defense when it settled, Stamp Tech still had to defend a lawsuit and obtain a jury verdict in its favor. The question is not whether it settled in the face of a viable *377defense, but whether that settlement was pursued in good faith, and was within the indemnity agreement. Plaintiff’s objection to Lydall’s motion for partial summary judgment on the indemnification issue, together with certain of its accompanying attachments and other documents in the record, support this position. Plaintiff originally sued Stamp Tech in April 2004. Aware that plaintiff had sustained a substantial injury, and after consulting with counsel, Stamp Tech wrote to Lydall in June and September of 2004 to notify Lydall that it intended to seek a settlement in the suit and to request that Lydall honor its contractual obligation to defend and indemnify Stamp Tech. In October 2004, Stamp Tech accepted a stipulated judgment against it — only after Lydall had rebuffed its requests to participate in the suit.
¶ 16. Lydall, on the other hand, has asserted varying theories of fault to suit its needs, depending on whether it was defending against plaintiff’s indemnity claim, or its own liability for purposes of Vermont’s Workers’ Compensation Act. For example, Counts II and III in plaintiff’s complaint allege that, among other acts, Lydall’s removal of the hard guard it had installed created the dangerous condition that made plaintiff’s injuries substantially certain to have occurred. In its answer, Lydall steadfastly denied having ever installed a hard guard on the press, while faulting Stamp Tech’s negligent installation of the light curtains for plaintiff’s injuries. Later, in its motion for partial summary judgment on the indemnification issue, Lydall asked the court to assume that hard guards had been installed and that but for their removal after Stamp Tech had completed its installation of the light curtains, plaintiff could not have been injured. Lydall is, of course, entitled to plead different legal theories in the alternative, but it cannot urge the court to take as fact its assertion that Stamp Tech has no liability, or a complete defense to liability on the indemnification claim, and then abandon that factual position to support its defense on the workers’ compensation claim.
¶ 17. If anything, the additional context provided by the record strongly suggests an inference contrary to that reached by the superior court — namely, that Stamp Tech pursued a good-faith settlement with plaintiff. That the facts in the record and the assertions made therein might be susceptible to inferences to the contrary, as urged by Lydall, only bolsters our conclusion that the superior court erroneously decided the indemnification issue on summary judgment. See, e.g., 10A C. Wright, A. Miller & M. *378Kane, Federal Practice and Procedure § 2725, at 433-37 (3d ed. 1998) (collecting cases and noting that “if the evidence presented on the motion is subject to conflicting interpretations . . . summary judgment is improper”).
¶ 18. The superior court’s premature decision on indemnification, and its avoidance of the preliminary contractual interpretation issues, led to another error. As discussed above, the superior court inferred that plaintiffs settlement with Stamp Tech was collusive because plaintiff agreed not to execute judgment against Stamp Tech and plaintiff separately sued Lydall alleging that Lydall caused his injuries. Therefore, the superior court concluded that to avoid summary judgment plaintiff had to prove Stamp Tech’s liability in full before he could enforce his settlement with Stamp Tech. The court adopted case law from Massachusetts that imposed a high burden of proof on a settling assignee of an indemnitee. See Spellman v. Shawmut Woodworking & Supply, Inc., 840 N.E.2d 47, 52-53 (Mass. 2006); see also Campione v. Wilson, 661 N.E.2d 658, 663 (Mass. 1996). Neither plaintiff nor Lydall had briefed this issue. Nevertheless, based on this higher standard of proof and its inference of collusion, the superior court found that plaintiff could not establish Stamp Tech’s liability.
¶ 19. The superior court erred in imposing Massachusetts law. The parties agreed that Stamp Tech installed the light curtains on Lydafl’s machine press pursuant to a contract. They disputed whether the terms of that contract contained an indemnification provision and a choice-of-law provision. They further disputed whether, assuming that the contract contained those provisions, they could be given effect in light of public policy concerns. The first task for the superior court was to interpret the contract. That is because plaintiff’s evidentiary burden to show the bona fides of his settlement with Stamp Tech, along with other prerequisites to recover on the indemnity provision, would have followed from the court’s interpretation of the parties’ agreement. See, e.g., Fashion House, Inc. v. K Mart Corp., 892 F.2d 1076, 1094 (1st Cir. 1989) (“Where . . . the duty to indemnify arises out of contract . . . ‘the question of whether actual liability is a prerequisite to the duty to indemnify is answered by reference to what the parties, by virtue of their contractual capacity, intended, as reflected in the language of the indemnity clause.’ ” (quoting Bainville v. Hess Oil V.I. Corp., 837 F.2d 128, 131 (3d Cir. 1988))).
*379¶ 20. Moreover, the choice of law specified by the parties is Connecticut law. With respect to settling indemnitees, Connecticut appears to require a showing of potential — not actual — liability where the indemnitor has had notice of, and an opportunity to participate in, a third-party suit against the indemnitee. See Black v. Goodwin, Loomis & Britton, Inc., 681 A.2d 293, 302 (Conn. 1996) (stating that where an insurer, acting in effect as an indemnitor, receives notice and an opportunity to defend a third-party action against an indemnitee, such indemnitee may make reasonable settlement with the third-party upon the indemnitor’s refusal to assume its defense, and such settlement will be deemed reasonable if, among other things, the indemnitee demonstrates that it settled in face of potential liability). Because this issue has not been briefed, we leave it to the superior court to decide in the first instance.
¶ 21. We recognize that some of the preliminary contractual issues involved disputed issues of fact and therefore could not be resolved on summary judgment. But they were determinative of issues that the superior court ultimately decided on summary judgment, such as the burden of proof on a settling indemnitee. Thus, it was illogical to reach this issue without deciding, at a minimum, which state’s law applied and if the indemnification provision was a valid part of the parties’ agreement.
¶ 22. Finally, although the contract specifies Connecticut as the state law governing the agreement, Lydall claims that we should not enforce the provision because Connecticut law differs from Vermont law on the question of whether the indemnification provision must expressly state that the clause covers the indemnitee’s negligence. Although not cited by either party, our most recent decision in this area is Tateosian v. State, 2007 VT 136, 183 Vt. 57, 945 A.2d 833. In Tateosian, we held that, under the factual circumstances of that case, an indemnification clause covers the sole negligence of the indemnitee only where it clearly expresses that intent. Id. ¶ 23. But see Hamelin v. Simpson Paper (Vermont) Co., 167 Vt. 17, 21, 702 A.2d 86, 89 (1997) (commercial parties may allocate the risk of liability among themselves regardless of negligence or fault). The issue in Vermont is not whether commercial parties may allocate liability among themselves, including indemnification of one party for its own negligence, but under what circumstances the agreement has to expressly disclose that fact. Under these circumstances, we cannot conclude that *380differences between Connecticut and Vermont law as to how to interpret an indemnification provision in a contract between commercial parties is so “cruel or shocking to the average man’s conception of justice” that we would refuse to enforce a choice of law provision on public policy grounds. See Payne v. Rozendall, 147 Vt. 488, 492-93, 520 A.2d 586, 588-89 (1986).
¶ 23. In the absence of a statute in the forum state providing otherwise, it is well-settled that it would be contrary to the justified expectations of the parties for a court to interpret their agreement by the laws of any jurisdiction other than that specified in the contract. See, e.g., Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws § 187 cmt. c (1971) (parties may determine the terms of their contractual engagements and spell them out in the contract; in such cases, the forum will apply the applicable provisions of the law of the designated state in order to effectuate the intentions of the parties.). On remand, the superior court should apply Connecticut law if it decides that Stamp Tech’s “Terms and Conditions” are a part of the contract.
II.
¶ 24. In view of our disposition above, it is not necessary to reach plaintiff’s claim that the court erroneously denied his motion for reconsideration.2 We note only that the factual dispute on liability became even clearer due to the discovery that occurred *381between the time the parties filed their motions for partial summary judgment and the superior court issued its decision, almost a year later. Indeed, on appeal, Lydall argued in this Court that Stamp Tech is hable for plaintiff’s injuries. We emphasize that Lydall cannot maintain that the settlement was collusive because Stamp Tech had no liability, or had a complete defense, when it is also taking a position that Stamp Tech is liable.
III.
¶25. Following the superior court’s ruling on the cross-motions for partial summary judgment on the indemnity issue, Lydall moved for summary judgment on the remaining issue of whether the exclusivity provisions of Vermont’s Workers’ Compensation Act rendered it immune from common law tort claims brought by its statutory employees, such as plaintiff.3 Characterizing plaintiff’s injuries as an “industrial accident,” LydaU denied that it specifically intended to injure him, citing as evidence, among other things, deposition testimony of an employee relating to whether or not the bar or hard guard ever existed, and if so, whether it was ever removed from the press after Stamp Tech left Lydall’s premises. Lydall further disclaimed any notion that it acted intentionally by noting plaintiff’s own deposition testimony, wherein he stated that he did not believe that Lydall intended to injure him, and by highlighting plaintiff’s own negligence in connection with his injury.
¶ 26. In addition to specifically alleging in his complaint that his injuries were not merely an accident, plaintiff also asserted that Lydall intentionally created the dangerous condition that made his injuries substantially certain and willfully disregarded its knowledge of such condition. Plaintiff’s opposition to Lydall’s motion for summary judgment further alleged, and supported with affidavits, *382facts tending to show that Lydall “removed the hard guard . . . and then put a poorly trained temp worker on the machine, added additional operators, and located the operator who had the activation controls out of sight of the workers on the back of the machine.” Thus, according to plaintiff, his injuries were “inevitable.”4
¶27. Furthermore, plaintiffs opposition to Lydall’s motion for summary judgment called on the superior court to evaluate these allegations in light of the “substantial certainty” exception adopted by several states with respect to an employer’s immunity from common law suits pursuant to workers’ compensation statutes. We considered, but did not adopt, this exception in Mead v. Western Slate, Inc., 2004 VT 11, ¶ 17, 176 Vt. 274, 848 A.2d 257. Generally speaking, the substantial certainty exception allows employees to sue their employers in tort at common law if the employer “engages in conduct with knowledge that it is substantially certain to cause injury or death.” Id. ¶ 13.
¶ 28. On November 28, 2008, the superior court ruled in favor of Lydall. It concluded that plaintiff had not put forth sufficient evidence to establish an exception to the exclusive remedy provision of Vermont’s Workers’ Compensation Act under either the specific intent standard or the substantial certainty standard.
¶ 29. Without expressing an opinion as to whether we would entertain plaintiffs invitation to adopt some form of a substantial certainty exception to the Vermont Workers’ Compensation Act’s exclusive remedy provision, we hold that the superior court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of Lydall.
¶ 30. Key to the superior court’s holding was its conclusion that, despite plaintiffs efforts to “outline[] in painstaking detail specific acts taken by Lydall to modify the press machine by removing certain safety features,” plaintiff had offered no “facts establishing that [Lydall] took these actions with the specific intent of harming its employees.” The superior court further stated that “[t]he most that can be adduced from the undisputed facts, and the evidence in the record, is that . . . Lydall knowingly permitted] a hazardous work condition to exist.”
*383¶ 31. These statements suggest that the court did not afford plaintiff, the nonmoving party, the “benefit of all reasonable doubts and inferences,” as is required in addressing motions for summary judgment. See Carr, 168 Vt. at 476, 724 A.2d at 461. Intent must often be inferred from a party’s acts, and where intent is a dispositive issue, courts should exercise caution in granting summary judgment. See Tesoriero v. Syosset Cent. Sch. Dist., 382 F. Supp. 2d 387, 395 (E.D.N.Y. 2005) (“Summary judgment is generally inappropriate where questions of the defendant’s state of mind are at issue, but is certainly not unobtainable.” (citation omitted)); see also 10B Wright, supra, §2730, at 6-7 (collecting cases). Such caution is especially appropriate here because not only are the facts alleged by plaintiff susceptible to competing inferences, but defendant also concedes that material facts — whether the hard guard existed and, if it did, whether it was removed from the press — remain in dispute.5 Thus, in view of our remand and the continuing dispute over how the accident occurred, we conclude that it was premature for the superior court to grant summary judgment in favor of Lydall on the issue of intent or substantial certainty. See Envtl. Bd. v. Chickering, 155 Vt. 308, 319, 583 A.2d 607, 613-14 (1990) (“Summary judgment is not a substitute for a determination on the merits, so long as evidence has been presented which creates an issue of material fact, no matter what view the court may take of the relative weight of that evidence.”).
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
The relevant portions of Stamp Tech’s “Terms and Conditions” state as follows: (1) “[b]uyer agrees to save and hold harmless Stamptech Inc. from any/all liability connected with the above equipment”; and (2) “[a]ll transactions will be deemed made and governed by the laws of the state of CT.”
Plaintiff promptly alerted the superior court to new expert testimony via a motion pursuant to Vermont Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e), and this additional testimony should have been the basis for reconsideration — notwithstanding the superior court’s discretion in considering such motions. The superior court issued its decision on June 9, 2007, just after plaintiff deposed Lydall’s expert, Peter Barroso, who opined that Stamp Tech was negligent, even if the hard guard had remained in place. We recognize that the superior court had no obligation to notify the parties that its decision was to issue. Nevertheless, we note that the transcript of Barroso’s deposition was apparently not available until June 15, 2007, several days after the superior court’s entry of summary judgment in favor of Lydall. This suggests that plaintiff did not intentionally delay in bringing this testimony to the attention of the superior court. Instead, once the transcript was available, plaintiff promptly filed a motion for reconsideration pursuant to Rule 59(e). Given that nearly a year had elapsed since the parties filed their cross-motions for partial summary judgment on the indemnification issue, plaintiff had little reason to suspect that a ruling by the superior court on those motions was imminent. Finally, nothing in the record suggests that plaintiff attempted to “game the system” by waiting to introduce Barroso’s deposition until after summary judgment had been entered against it.
Absent an exception to the general rule, the Vermont Workers’ Compensation Act prohibits an employee from suing his employer in tort for a workplace accident. See 21 V.S.A. § 622; Kittell v. Vermont Weatherboard, Inc., 138 Vt. 439, 440, 417 A.2d 926, 926 (1980) (per curiam). The general rule, which provides an exclusive remedy for injured employees, reflects a deliberate legislative balancing of interests; the employee receives compensation for his workplace injuries without regard to fault, and the employer receives, in return, limited liability. See Kittell, 138 Vt. at 441, 417 A.2d at 927. However, under the “specific intent” exception, where an employer, acting with specific intent, injures an employee in connection with his employment, the employer no longer enjoys statutory immunity from common law tort suits. See id.
Plaintiffs choice of words in describing defendant’s state of mind may be somewhat imprecise. Taking into account the entire setting of the case, however, including the pleadings, see V.R.C.P. 56(c), we cannot, as does the dissent, see post, ¶ 37, construe this filing as, in effect, a concession that there was no evidence that defendant intended to injure him.
We disagree with the inference the dissent draws from “the undisputed fact that defendant installed light guards on the machine.” Post, ¶ 37. When viewed in isolation, the fact may perhaps be construed as “belfying] any claim that defendant intended to injure its employees.” Post, ¶ 37. Viewed in the appropriate context and in the light most favorable to plaintiff, however, this suggests that defendant appreciated the dangerousness of the press, but nevertheless rendered the light guards ineffective by removing the hard guard. We cannot say that a reasonable fact-finder could not infer intent to injure based on these circumstances.
