Syllabus

The trial court erred as a matter of law by concluding that the open door was not an open and obvious hazard. However, the trial court did not err by finding that the Zamboni was not an open and obvious hazard and was the cause of Ms. George's injuries. Because we find that the trial court erred as to one of the two identified causes of Ms. George's injuries, it is unclear how our decision would impact the allocation of fault and Ms. George's damages. Therefore, we remand this matter for further consideration to determine what, if any, impact our decision has on the comparative negligence calculation. Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part; cause remanded with instructions.
