This is an appeal by defendant from a final judgment
in favor of plaintiffs after jury trial in a personal injury
action. Plaintiff was paralyzed when he hit a log and fell while
ridinq a motorcycle in a park in Fort Pierce on January 13, 1973.
A portion of the park was designated as a motorcycle riding area.
Plaintiff originally sued the City of Fort Pierce and
several employees. The case was dismissed as barred by the stat-
ute of limitations and this court reversed the dismissal as to the
individual defendant employees. Tedder v. City of E'ort Pierce,
333 So.2d 506 (E'la. 4th DCA 1976), cert. denied, 345 So.2d 428
(Fla. 1977). On remand, the matter proceeded to trial against the
City employees on the theory of personal liability.
