Judge Throws Out $1 Million Jell-O Wrestling Case

NEW YORK (AP) ― A Manhattan judge has thrown out $1 million suit against New York University by a former student who claimed he broke his hip at a Jell-O wrestling dorm party.

Avram Wisnia was a junior at NYU in 2004 when he and his dorm mates organized a party called "Beach Bash."

While horsing around a kiddie pool filled with gelatin, Wisnia was pushed and shattered his hip, his lawsuit said.

Wisnia's 2005 lawsuit blamed NYU for allowing the event and for having the school's food service provide the gelatin. But Manhattan Justice Carol Robinson Edmead ruled that Wisnia knew what he was doing.

NYU spokesman John Beckman said, "This case broke the mold but in the end justice was served sweetly."
