Shepherd, J.
(concurring). I adopt the opinion of Judge Swallow but wish to add that the remedy suggested by Judge Bronson that "[t]he fear that abolishing the governmental immunity doctrine will subject govenmental units to liability for vast sums of money would be better remedied by placing a dollar cap on recovery” — is a matter which in my opinion must be addressed to the Legislature. My view of the law as it is, requires the opinion of Judge Swallow in this case to prevail even though I have a great deal of sympathy for the point of view advocated by Judge Bronson and *452would welcome a definitive statement either by the Michigan Supreme Court or the Legislature which would both clarify and remedy the present confusion and inequities that exist in the present state of the law.
