I must respectfully dissent. The duty owed to an invitee was clearly stated by the Alabama Supreme Court in Ex parte MountainTop Indoor Flea Market, Inc., 699 So.2d 158 (Ala. 1997):
 "`The duty owed to an invitee "is limited to hidden defects which are not known to the invitee and would not be discovered by him in the exercise of ordinary care."'"
699 So.2d at 161 (citations omitted).
I would affirm the summary judgment in favor of the Cooks.
