Where a risk is distinctly associated with a claimant's employment, it is not a neutral risk. When claimant was performing acts employer might reasonably have expected him to perform incident to and in fulfillment of his assigned duties, injury occurring during performance of those acts arose out of work and was causally connected to his work. (HOLDRIDGE and HOFFMAN, HUDSON, and STEWART, concurring.)
