Pennsylvania Appeals Court Reverses Trial Court in Negligence Case Involving a Zipline

A Pennsylvania court of appeals reversed a lower court, giving new life to the claim of a plaintiff, who sued a resort after she was injured on a zipline. Specifically, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania found that the plaintiff, Aisha Monroe, “produced sufficient evidence that the defendant consciously engaged in conduct that created an unreasonable risk of physical harm to her that was substantially greater than mere negligence” to defeat the defendant’s motion for summary judgment.
