Reid, of Rumrell, Costabel, Warrington & Brock, LLP, Jacksonville, for Appellee. ON MOTION FOR CERTIFICATION PER CURIAM. We grant the Motion for Certification but restate the question as follows: WHETHER A CONTRACT CONTAINING AN EXCULPATORY CLAUSE, SIGNED BY A PARENT ON BEHALF OF HER CHILD, IN FAVOR OF A COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE, IS ENFORCEABLE TO DEFEAT THE CHILD'S ACTION TO RECOVER FOR PERSONAL INJURIES SUSTAINED BY THE CHILD AS A RESULT OF THE ENTERPRISE'S NEGLIGENCE. We certify that this is a question of great public importance. SAWAYA, TORPY and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
