Audio by Dr. Michael Sokolow

If one comes with his barrel and an other comes with his beam and the pitcher of this one breaks by [collision with] the beam of this one, he is exempt, for the one is entitled to walk [there and carry beams] and the other is entitled to walk [there and carry Barrels]. Where the carrier of the beam was in front, and the carrier of the barrel behind, and the barrel broke by [collision with] the beam, the carrier of the beam is exempt. But if the carrier of the beam [suddenly] stopped, he is liable. If, however, he cried to the carrier of the barrel, halt!` He is exempt. Where, however, the carrier of the barrel was in front, and the carrier of the beam behind and the barrel broke by [collision with] the beam, he is liable. If, however, the carrier of the barrel [suddenly] stopped, he is exempt. But where he cried to the carrier of the beam, `halt!` He is liable. The same applies to one carrying a [burning] candle while another was proceeding with flax.  קמא 3.5
זה בא בחביתו, וזה בא בקורתו, נשברה כדו של זה בקורתו של זה-- פטור, שלזה רשות להלך ולזה רשות להלך׃ היה בעל הקורה ראשון, ובעל החבית אחרון-- נשברה חבית בקורה, פטור; אם עמד בעל הקורה, חייב; אם אמר לו לבעל החבית, עמוד-- פטור׃ היה בעל החבית ראשון, ובעל הקורה אחרון-- נשברה חבית בקורה, חייב; אם עמד בעל החבית, פטור; אם אמר לבעל הקורה, עמוד-- חייב׃ וכן זה בא בנרו, וזה בא בפשתנו
If two [persons] were passing one another on public ground, one [of them] running and the other walking or both of them running, and they were injured by each other, both of them are exempt.  קמא 3.6
שניים שהיו מהלכין ברשות הרבים, אחד רץ ואחד מהלך, או שהיו שניהם רצין, והזיקו זה את זה-- שניהן פטורין
