““ ‘The case clearly comes within the pronouncement of the Supreme Court of this State in the case of Moffett v. Koch, 106 La. 371 , 31 So. 40 , 44, wherein the Court said: “Where an employe is not placed by the employer in a position of undisclosed danger, but is a mature man, doing the ordinary work which he was engaged to do, and whose risks are obvious to anyone, he assumes the risks of the employment, and no negligence can be imputed to an employer for an accident to him therefrom.” Kohn v. McNulta, 147 U.S. 238 , 13 S.Ct. 298 , 37 L.Ed. 150 .’ ””
