CAVANAUGH, Judge,
concurring:
I concur in the result reached by the majority. I respectfully disagree with what appears to be an artificial distinction among a variety of activities which may or may not be classified as constituting a special danger or peculiar risk. Nonetheless, I would not reach this issue for the reasons set forth in my concurring opinion in Colloi v. Philadelphia Electric Company, 332 Pa.Super. 284, 481 A.2d 616 (1984). I remain convinced that §§ 416 and 427 of Restatement (Second) of Torts were intended to provide a basis of *57recovery by third parties, not employees of independent contractors or subcontractors.
