A oli 5.8.1999 tapaturmaisesti vahingoittunut. Koska vahingoittuminen oli sattunut liikuntatapahtumassa, johon A oli osallistunut työajalla ja jolta ajalta hänelle oli maksettu palkkaa ja koska kyseinen liikuntatapahtuma oli järjestetty työnantajan tiloissa ja työnantajan palkkaaman ohjaajan ohjauksessa, A:n voitiin katsoa suorittaneen työnantajan hyväksymää tehtävää, vaikkei kyse ole ollut A:n varsinaisten työtehtävien hoitamisesta. Siten A:n voitiin katsoa vahingoittuneen työssä johtuvissa olosuhteissa. Tapaturmalautakunnan päätös kumottiin ja vakuutusyhtiö määrättiin suorittamaan A:lle lainmukainen korvaus sanotun tapaturman johdosta.
