NIX, Chief Justice,
concurring.
Although I join the result reached by the majority, I must disassociate myself from the majority’s reaffirmance of the proposition that the Recreation Use of Land and Water Act, 68 P.S. §§ 477-1 to 477-8 (“RUA”), “applies only to lands that are largely unimproved in character____” Maj. op. at 41. I continue to adhere to the view that there is nothing in the language of the RUA that would suggest that it excludes improved land. See Walsh v. City of Philadelphia, 526 Pa. 227, 244, 585 A.2d 445, 453 (1991) (Nix, C.J., dissenting); Rivera v. Philadelphia Theological Seminary of St. Charles *44Borromeo, Inc., 510 Pa. 1, 27, 507 A.2d 1, 14 (1986) (Nix, C.J., dissenting).
