After a long meeting with some executives of the company, Jane enters an elevator in the building owned by Hi-Flyer, Inc., and presses the button for the floor she wants to reach. The doors to the elevator close and suddenly the elevator goes into free fall, stopping abruptly at the lobby. Jane is seriously hurt and sues Hi-Flyer for damages. Upon receipt of the complaint, Hi-Flyer moves for summary judgment, noting that, while it is clear that Jane did fall, she has never proven, or for that matter even offered a theory as to why the elevator functioned incorrectly. Therefore, argues Hi-Flyer, there is no evidence that they were at fault. What is the ruling of the Court?
