(1) Results from incidental contact with other roller skaters or spectators,
(2) Results from falls caused by loss of balance, or
(3) Involves objects or artificial structures properly within the intended path of travel of the roller skater,
and that is not otherwise attributable to a rink operator's breach of the operator's duties as set forth in G.S. 99E-11.
