PLAINTIFF INJURED IN A SLAM DUNK COMPETITION AT BASKETBALL CAMP, DEFENDANT ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT UNDER THE ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK DOCTRINE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff assumed the risk of injury in a slam dunk competition at basketball camp:

Under the doctrine of primary assumption of risk, “[i]f the risks [of a sporting activity] are known by or perfectly obvious to [a voluntary participant], he or she has consented to them and the [defendant] has discharged its duty of care by making the conditions as safe as they appear to be” … . Risks inherent in a sporting activity are those which are known, apparent, natural, or reasonably foreseeable consequences of the participation … . Participants are not deemed to have assumed the risks of reckless or intentional conduct, or concealed or unreasonably increased risks … . Osmond v Hofstra Univ., 2018 NY Slip Op 03693, Second Dept 5-23-18
