The family of a Utah college student who died after riding his bike into a slack line tied between two trees has agreed to dismiss three students from a wrongful death lawsuit.
The rope was set up by the students on Utah State University's campus to practice their balance.
Media reports that Rafael Seminario, an attorney for one of the students, said three students reached a confidential settlement with the family of 24-year-old Eric Anderson to avoid an emotion trial.
The Anderson family attorney declined to comment Monday.
The family is still suing the university, saying the school is responsible for keeping the campus safe.
Authorities say Anderson slammed into the chest-high line on the Logan campus in August 2013 while biking down the grassy hill beneath the school’s Old Main building. He died at the hospital.
