Filed 28 February 2003
Workers' Compensation — injury while leaving work — climbinggate — unreasonable incidental activity — not arising out of and incourse of employment
The decision of the Court of Appeals in this case is reversed for the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion that injuries received by plaintiff when he fell while attempting to climb over a seven and one-half foot high locked chain link and barbed wire gate leading to an employee parking lot did not arise out of and in the course of his employment because he engaged in an unreasonable incidental activity for egress from the employer's premises when the employer provided a safe and secured exit and the premises exception to the coming and going rule thus did not apply.
