Kenneth Lee Sadler and Violet Sadler v.

WALSH, Justice: This is an appeal from the grant of summary judgment by the Superior Court in favor of certain governmental entities and their employees who participated in the rescue of the plaintiff, Kenneth Lee Sadler, 1 after he was injured in a fall in the Brandywine River. In his Superior Court action, Sadler contended that the individuals who participated in the rescue and the governmental entities who employed or controlled them, New Castle County (the "County"), Talleyville Fire Company ("Talleyville"), and the City of Wilmington (the "City"), were negligent in selecting an unduly hazardous means to remove him from the bank of the river, thereby seriously aggravating his injuries.
