2. Regarding ground of appeal No. 2

The defect in the installation and preservation of a structure under Article 758(1) of the Civil Act refers to a state in which a structure fails to meet safety requirements ordinarily required according to its use. In determining whether such safety requirements are met, it shall be based on whether the installer and the keeper of the structure has fulfilled the duty to take protective measures to the extent generally required by social norms in proportion to the risk of the structure. Thus, even if an accident occurred from a structure, unless there are special circumstances, if the accident occurred as a result of an exceptional behavior not in compliance with the ordinary usage of the structure, it shall not be deemed that the installer and the keeper of the structure has the duty to take protective measures against such accident (see Supreme Court Decisions 95Da22351, Feb. 13, 1996; 97Da25118, Jan. 23, 1998, etc.).

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below found facts as stated in its reasoning after compiling the adopted evidence. In the case of the safety net of this case, the safety net of this case is installed far away from the ground, and normally, in the case of the safety net of this case, skigs lose balance in the course of ski fishing, or do not control its direction, and installed safety net at a certain distance from the ground in order to prevent skis from causing more severe injury. In light of the fact that the safety net of this case was installed at a certain distance from the ground, the degree of distance seems to be appropriate, and unlike this, the safety net of this case cannot be demanded for the defendant who installs and manages the safety net of this case to have safety facilities in preparation for all cases so that the safety net of this case does not meet the ordinary safety net of this case, and the defendant's failure to install the safety net of this case is likely to have been installed with the safety net of this case, and the defendant's failure to take the safety net of this case can not be seen as being affected by the safety net of this case.

In light of the above legal principles and records, the above fact-finding and judgment of the court below are just, and contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors by misapprehending the legal principles as to defects in the installation and preservation of structures

3. As to the third ground for appeal

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below rejected the plaintiff's assertion on the ground that it is difficult to view that emergency measures against the deceased and measures for their return to hospital after the accident did not properly be taken as alleged by the plaintiff, there is no evidence to prove that the defendant was negligent in failing to perform his duty of safety consideration on the deceased, in light of the defendant's measures after the accident and the process of sending back to hospital, etc., the circumstance of the plaintiff's assertion alone cannot be deemed to have violated the duty of safety consideration on the part of the defendant, and that there is no causation between such circumstance and the death of the deceased.

In light of the records, the fact-finding and judgment of the court below are just, and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the duty of safety consideration as alleged in the grounds of appeal.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
