SCHULTZ, Justice
(dissenting).
I do not believe there is sufficient information in the record to make a factual issue that defendants had knowledge that an injury to plaintiff was probable. Although plaintiff twice complained of a hole in his rain suit, he did not tell defendants that the liquid had penetrated the next line of protection, his poly sheets, and made his pants wet. The majority conclusion that the jury could reasonably infer that defen*546dants knew plaintiffs pants had gotten wet is unwarranted. There is nothing in the record that could provide that inference. Such a finding could only come from speculation.
I would affirm the trial court.
