     7  sation for their disability or death from injury arising out of  and  in
     8  the  course  of the employment without regard to fault as a cause of the
     9  injury, except that there shall be no liability for  compensation  under
    10  this  chapter when the injury has been solely occasioned by intoxication

    13  injury or death of himself, herself or another; or where the  injury  or

    15  tration  of a felony or misdemeanor for which the employee is convicted;

    17  ipation  in  an  off-duty athletic activity not constituting part of the
    18  employee's work related duties unless  the  employer  (a)  requires  the
    19  employee  to  participate in such activity, (b) compensates the employee
    20  for participating in such activity or (c) otherwise sponsors the  activ-
    21  ity.
