Limits liability for operators of buildings, facilities, or premises for certain sports, games, and amusement activities.
This bill limits liability for operators (owners, managers, or controllers) of facilities hosting physically-exerting recreational activities, such as sports, trampoline parks, rock climbing, and racing. It deems participants and spectators to assume inherent risks - like injuries from physical exertion - making most injury lawsuits against operators invalid, unless the operator acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct. The bill excludes activities already covered by specific laws, such as skiing (P.L.1979, c.29) and roller skating (P.L.1991, c.28). It applies broadly to activities including team sports, individual sports, and amusement rides requiring physical exertion.
