What is Rhabdomyolysis and why should I know about it? Rhabdomyolysis (sometimes referred to as Exertional Rhabdomyolysis) is a condition in which damaged skeletal muscle tissue breaks down rapidly and enters the bloodstream, bringing on a potentially debilitating or life threatening illness. Byproducts of damaged muscle cells are released into the bloodstream and can lead to kidney damage or even kidney failure.  Why should you know about it? Anyone connected with conditioning – whether as a coach, personal trainer, physical educator, or exerciser – needs to be aware ...

The plaintiff in the case had sustained the permanent loss of the use of his legs due to an accident that occurred on a mountain bike trail system that was established and maintained by Trek.
The basis for the dismissal was the court’s conclusion that Wisconsin’s Recreational Use Statute (the “R.U.S.”) provided immunity to Trek. The ...

Although the case does not arise in a recreational event context, the holding in the case is relevant and may be of value to recreational opportunity providers who ask event volunteers to sign ...

The Michigan Court of Appeals recently has issued decisions in two cases involving recreational liability (Estate of Wheeler v. Central Michigan Inns, Inc., April 14, 2011, and Sherry v. East Suburban Football League, March 17, 2011). Both decisions emphasize the importance of recreational-opportunity providers being vigilant about injury risks.
The Wheeler case arose out of the tragic drowning death of five-year-old Domonique “Dom” Wheeler. Dom’s mother had arranged to hold a “pool party” at a local motel to celebrate Dom’s upcoming birthday. On the day of ...
