About 250 park officers statewide are trained to assist with search and rescues (including on ice),
do field sobriety tests, respond to accidents and serve as liaisons with
snowmobile clubs that help maintain the trails.
In Reese v. Coleman, the plaintiff was struck by a
snowmobile that went off the track while attending a race for which he paid admission.26 The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal held that the defendant toboggan
club was negligent because it
did not take any steps to block off the area where the plaintiff spectator was standing, thus allowing the plaintiff to presume that it was safe.
