Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The plaintiff, a student at Suffolk County Community College, was injured during his elective course, a "Stage Combat" acting class, when he slipped in the gymnasium while participating in an activity he referred to as a "suicide run." The defendants established, prima facie, that the plaintiff voluntarily participated in this activity and assumed the risks associated with it ( see Benitez v. New York City Bd. of Educ., 73 NY2d 650, 658; Turcotte v. Fell, 68 NY2d 432, 439; see also Morlock v. Town of N. Hempstead, 12 AD3d 652; Kazlow v. City of New York, 253 AD2d 411; Schlein v. White Plains City School Dist., 292 AD2d 367). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact.
The theory of inherent compulsion does not apply under the circumstances of this case ( see Benitez v. Board of Educ., supra; see also Verduce v. Board of Higher Educ. in City of N.Y., 9 AD2d 214, 219 [dissenting opn], revd on dissenting opn 8 NY2d 928; Weber v. William Floyd School Dist., UFSD, 272 AD2d 396).
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
