33. On which of the following theories is the spectator most likely to be able to obtain a summary judgment as to liability?

A is correct. Even though the spectator might not obtain summary judgment on a claim of liability for an abnormally dangerous activity, of the choices given, it provides the spectator with the best chance of doing so. Historically, fireworks have been considered to be an abnormally dangerous activity; that is, an activity that poses a high risk of physical harm that cannot be eliminated even when all actors are reasonably careful.

B is incorrect. The elements of battery are not met. Here, the spectator was injured in an accident; the amusement park did not intend to touch the spectator in a harmful or offensive manner, as is required for battery liability.

C is incorrect. The spectator suffered personal injuries. The tort of nuisance imposes liability for unreasonable interference with another person's use or enjoyment of their property, which is not applicable here.

D is incorrect. Strict products liability applies only to commercial sellers of defective products that cause injury. There is nothing in the question to suggest that the amusement park—the only defendant in the action—was in the business of selling fireworks.
