DANICA KLEINER et al., Appellants, v. COMMACK ROLLER RINK, Respondent.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff Danica Kleiner was injured in a fall after an abrupt and sudden collision in which another skater ran into her while she was roller skating at the defendant's rink. Such collisions between skaters are a common occurrence (see, Lopez v Skate Key, 174 A.D.2d 534). Thus, she is deemed to have assumed the risk of injury resulting therefrom (see, Taynor v. Skate Grove, 150 A.D.2d 362; Baker v. Eastman Kodak Co., 34 A.D.2d 886, affd 28 N.Y.2d 636). Moreover, in opposing the defendant's motion, the plaintiffs failed to establish that any amount of supervision by the defendant would have prevented this random collision (see, Bua v. South Shore Skating, 193 A.D.2d 774). Accordingly, the defendant was entitled to summary judgment.

We have reviewed the plaintiffs' remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Altman and Hart, JJ., concur.
