NJ A3389

Limits liability for operators of sports, games, and amusement facilities by establishing that participants and spectators assume inherent risks of physically-exerting recreational activities

Covers activities including gymnastics, football, baseball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, hockey, tennis, trampoline jumping, rope and rock climbing, bicycling, and go-karting, but excludes skiing, roller skating, and equine activities already covered by existing laws

Assumption of risk serves as a complete bar to lawsuits against operators for injuries arising from inherent risks, overriding New Jersey's comparative negligence provisions

Operators remain liable for gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct despite the liability protections

Applies to both private and governmental operators, including state agencies, political subdivisions, and their instrumentalities, with protections cumulative with New Jersey Tort Claims Act defenses
