Case No. 20-0343

Thomas Lukken
v.
Century, Inc.

Plaintiff in negligence action to recover for injuries he sustained in a zip line accident appeals from the summary judgments entered in favor of defendants. Plaintiff contends the district court erred in: (1) finding the installation of a new zip line braking system was a superseding cause of his injuries, relieving defendant Challenge Quest from liability; (2) finding Challenge Quest owed him no duty; (3) finding there were no issues of material fact as to his negligence claim against Challenge Quest; (4) failing to address an issue of gross negligence presented in the Mt. Crescent defendants’ motion for summary judgment; (5) finding the waiver of liability signed by plaintiff was not contrary to statutory purpose and public policy; and (6) failing to view the evidence in the light most favorable to plaintiff.
