The plaintiff injured her tailbone after hitting a hidden chunk of ice while sliding down a snow slide at a winter festival operated by the defendants.
She brought an action under the Occupiers' Liability Act, alleging the defendants failed to take reasonable steps to ensure the slide was safe.
The court dismissed the action, finding that the defendants met the standard of care by having staff monitor the slide, direct traffic, and fill in gaps in the snow.
The court held that requiring the defendants to detect and remove a small, buried piece of ice would impose a standard of perfection rather than reasonableness.
