What Happened: After safely pulling off the stunt on several occasions, an office tenant who climbed onto his desk and used a broomstick to close hard-to-reach blinds fell to the floor and broke his spine. Blaming his injuries on the landlord’s failure to maintain the premises in a safe condition, he sued for medical bills and damages. When the court rejected his negligence claims, he appealed.
