This is a petition to review McCullough v. Central Florida YMCA, 523 So.2d 1208 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988), because of express direct conflict with Zordan v. Page, 500 So.2d 608 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986), review denied, 508 So.2d 15 (Fla. 1987). Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. In Landis v.

McDONALD, J., concurs in result only.
