- Common law: The legal system that originated in England and is now in use in the United States. It is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative action.
- Operator: means a private person or entity who owns or controls or who has operational responsibility for an ice-skating rink. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 8 Sec. 622
- Skater: means a person in an ice-skating rink for the purpose of skating. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 8 Sec. 622
Insofar as the dangers inherent in ice-skating are obvious, by participating in ice-skating, a person accepts those dangers. Those dangers include, but are not limited to, injuries that result from collisions with other skaters, injuries that result from falls and injuries that involve objects or artificial structures properly within the intended travel of the skater that are not otherwise attributable to a breach of the operator‘s common law duties.
