Torts — recreational immunity

Tasha Waller and Makaylee Clegg (collectively, Waller) appeal a summary judgment in favor of Menard, Inc. and Zurich Insurance Company (collectively, Menard). The circuit court concluded Menard was entitled to recreational immunity under Wis. Stat. § 895.52 for injuries Clegg sustained from a fall off a swing set display in one of Menard’s stores. We conclude Clegg was engaged in a recreational activity and neither the profit nor social guest exceptions to the immunity statute apply. Accordingly, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
