SABERS, Justice
(concurring specially).
I -write specially to emphasize that “the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress encompasses liability for reckless infliction of emotional distress[.]” Petersen, 491 N.W.2d at 469 (emphasis added). Therefore, it is also for the jury to determine whether Ravellette engaged in reckless conduct, defined in Restatement (Second) of Torts § 46 cmt. i (1965) as “ ‘conduct which constitutes a deliberate disregard of a high degree of probability that the emotional distress will follow.’” Id. at 468 (quoting Wangen, 428 N.W.2d at 248).
