15-year-old Madison Arseneault tripped during a gym class at the Ford Test Track in May 2016.
She tripped on taut string that was running at ground level and was tied to a sawed off golf club at one end of a soccer field.
The golf club struck her on the side of her head.
The equipment was set up to paint lines on the soccer field.
