SAM Magazine-Sunshine Village, Alberta, July 30, 2010-Sunshine Village was not at fault for the accidental death of one of its ski resort workers in 2004, an Alberta court has ruled. The decision overturned a lower court decision that found the resort failed to protect the employee's health and safety, according to the CBC.

Maintenance worker Karl Stunt, 25, died of head injuries after being struck by a metal bar while working on a chairlift at Sunshine Village. The court ruled that the area could not be held accountable for a "bizarre and unforeseeable" incident. The judge noted that Stunt and two co-workers knew the proper procedures for the work, and determined that the resort was not liable for their "momentary inattentiveness," which led to Stunt's accident. The ruling voided a lower court's $5,000 fine and a requirement to set up a $250,000 scholarship in Stunt's name.
