The following excerpt is from Vigil v. Harrah's Club, 909 F.2d 1490 (9th Cir. 1990):
Similarly, in Hicks v. M.H.A. Inc., 107 Ga.App. 290, 129 S.E.2d 817 (1963) a Georgia court held that shopping center owners were liable for injuries that resulted from the movement of an unruly crowd during a promotional activity. The crowd had rushed to retrieve paper plates redeemable for merchandise that had been dropped from an airplane during a second anniversary celebration. 129 S.E.2d at 818-19. The court concluded that the crowd's dangerous movements were foreseeable because the same stunt had been performed during the commemoration of the shopping center's first anniversary. Id. at 820.
