1Opinion of the CourtRobert G. Ulrich, P.J.
Trans World Airlines, Inc. (TWA) appeals the final award of the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission awarding workers’ compensation benefits to Odis Jones. TWA claims that the Commission misapplied the law in awarding benefits to Mr. Jones because the proximate cause of Mr. Jones’s injuries was his participation in a voluntary recreational activity and, therefore, workers’ compensation benefits were forfeited under section 287.120.7.1 The final award of the Commission is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Commission with directions to enter an award consistent with this opinion.
