It also claimed that even if it was required to comply with the statute, there is no duty to actually use an AED, and, further, that an AED would not have saved Sabrina because she died as a result of choking on her own vomit and/or from a “non-shockable” arrhythmia. In addition, the facility claimed that Sabrina’s parents could not recover any damages because they had signed a waiver prior to Sabrina’s enrollment in the gymnastics program., Sabrina developed difficulty breathing after her fall and ultimately stopped breathing.
