California Court of Appeal

In a wrongful death action, arising out of a skateboarding accident caused by a gap between a road and manhole cover, against various defendants, including the entity responsible for inspecting and maintaining the manhole cover and the owner of the road where the accident occurred, the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants is affirmed where the doctrine of primary assumption of risk barred plaintiffs' lawsuit as a matter of law.
