Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the March 27, 1997 incident constituted an accident under compulsory accident insurance law.
Decisione estratta
The incident did not satisfy the requirement of an unusual external factor; therefore it was not an accident in the legal sense.
Motivazione estratta
The insured’s movements were ordinary and there was no program-disrupting or conspicuous external influence such as slipping, stumbling, or reflexive avoidance of a fall. The piling being jammed did not create an objectively unusual movement pattern, and no extraordinary exertion sufficient to qualify as an accident was shown.
