New York University has found itself in a slippery situation — facing a $1 million lawsuit over Jell-O wrestling.
Student Avram Wisnia says he broke his hip when he got shoved into a kiddie pool filled with the red goo at his dorm's May 1, 2004, "Beach Bash," according to The New York Post.
The shallow kiddie pool was sitting on a concrete courtyard with just a small athletic mat cushioning it from underneath, Wisnia's lawyer said.
"This really was an accident waiting to happen," the lawyer, Joel Kaplan, told The Post. "It's high jinks for high minds, I guess ... Everybody loves red Jell-O."
NYU not only OK'd the goofy gelatin smackdown — food services even provided garbage pails filled with Jell-O for the event, the lawsuit claims.
The University "failed to prevent the Jell-O wrestling event" and "disregarded its duty to maintain its premises in a safe condition and carelessly created an unsafe condition," the Pennsylvania native's suit claims.
NYU officials told The Post they had not yet seen the lawsuit.
