(i asked a previous question). what do you know about a recreational land law that wisconsin passed to protect landowners if that invite someone to hunt, fish ect... do you know of any cases where insurance companies tried to use this law regarding a trampoline injury suit. also, do you know of any cases where the manufactuer of a trampoline has been sued for not selling a trampoline with the net around it. thank you.

Re: state laws

I think the recreation statute was designed to cover things like hunting. I can't see that extending to other forms of "playing." I'm not aware of cases where munufacturers were negligent solely for failing to have a net around a trampoline. I'm sure insurance companies will use all available defenses when trying to avoid paying in such cases.
