OPINION

SEDGWICK, Judge.

Gina Stucci sued the City of Saint Paul in negligence for injuries she sustained in a skating accident on a municipal rink. The jury awarded her $20,000 in compensatory damages, finding the City to be 80% negligent and her parents 20% negligent. The City appeals from the judgment and denial of its motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or a new trial. We reverse.
