Questão jurídica principal
Whether the plaintiff's own conduct broke the adequate causal link to any landowner or omission-based liability
Decisão extraída
The plaintiff's highly inappropriate, unforeseeable riding behavior was so intense that it rendered any earlier cause legally irrelevant and broke the causal chain.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that an intervening cause breaks causation only if it outweighs the original cause in a value judgment. Given the site’s private, non-public character and the plaintiff's unreasonable use of the path, the accident was attributable to gross self-endangerment.
