ACTION
On May 14, 1982, appellant VerBouwens filed a complaint against appellee Hamm Wood Products and The Maryland Casualty Company for injuries sustained in an industrial mishap. Discovery was conducted and summary judgment dismissing appellant’s claim was entered on July 26,1982. Appellant filed a notice of appeal to this Court on September 27, 1982. Maryland Casualty Company filed a motion to affirm, and on January 13, 1983, the motion was granted dismissing Maryland Casualty Company from this action. We affirm.
FACTS
On February 17, 1981, appellee Hamm Wood Products hired appellant VerBouwens as a saw operator in appellee’s sawmill. Thereafter, on February 19, 1981, appellant VerBouwens sustained personal injuries while operating appellee’s saw. Appellant VerBouwens filed a claim under our Worker’s Compensation Act and received, as of the date of the complaint herein, $37,430.40 in hospitalization and disability payments.
Appellant VerBouwens brought this action against appellee Hamm Wood Products because the saw in question, as designed and constructed by appellee for use in its sawmill, failed to have proper safety equipment. Appellant VerBouwens’ complaint avers: (1) appellee committed an intentional act as it knew the saw was inherently dangerous; and (2) appellee was liable to appellant in its role as manufacturer of the saw.
ISSUES
I.
THE CIRCUIT COURT GRANTED SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF
THE EMPLOYER AND AGAINST APPELLANT ON THIS INTENTIONAL TORT CLAIM. WE UPHOLD THE TRIAL COURT,
II.
IS AN EMPLOYER, WHO ALSO DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURES A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT FOR USE IN ITS BUSINESS, LIABLE TO AN EMPLOYEE ABOVE AND BEYOND ITS STATUS AS AN EMPLOYER? REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE THE DUAL CAPACITY DOCTRINE, WE HOLD THAT IT IS NOT.
DECISION
I.
In our decision herein, we must heed this state’s Worker’s Compensation Law. Our worker’s compensation statutes feature an exclusivity of remedy provision in SDCL 62-3-2:
The rights and remedies herein granted to an employee subject to this title, on account of personal injury or death arising out of and in the course of employment, shall exclude all other rights and remedies of such employee, his personal representatives, dependents, or next of kin, on account of such injury or death against his employer or any employee, partner, officer or director of such employer, except rights and remedies arising from intentional tort. (Emphasis supplied.)
Therefore, appellant VerBouwens brought an action on a theory of intentional tort. Appellant VerBouwens omits any reference as to which intentional tort appellee Hamm Wood Products committed, opting instead to simply plead that appellees’ knowledge of the saw’s dangerous condition was willful, wanton, and reckless conduct which amounted to an intentional act. Appellee asserts our tort standard of intent is the same standard as used in construing will provisions.
*876Willful and wanton misconduct is something more than ordinary negligence but less than deliberate or intentional conduct. Granflaten v. Rohde, 66 S.D. 335, 283 N.W. 153 (1938). Conduct is gross, willful, wanton, or reckless when a person acts or fails to act, with a conscious realization that injury is a probable, as distinguished from a possible (ordinary negligence), result of such conduct. Granflaten, 283 N.W. 153. Contradistinguished, intentional tortious conduct is when an ordinary, reasonable, prudent person would believe an injury was substantially certain to result from his conduct. Spivey v. Battaglia, 258 So.2d 815 (Fla.1972). To establish intentional conduct, more than the knowledge and appreciation of risk is necessary; the known danger must cease to become only a foreseeable risk which an ordinary, reasonable, prudent person would avoid (ordinary negligence), and become a substantial certainty. Spivey, 258 So.2d 815.
As set forth in Ruple v. Weinaug, 328 N.W.2d 857 (S.D.1983), our standard of review for summary judgments is drawn from SDCL 15-6-56 and Wilson v. Great N. Ry. Co., 83 S.D. 207, 157 N.W.2d 19 (1968). We have examined the record herein to ascertain if a genuine issue of material fact has been raised, and our conclusion is in the negative. We can hypothesize that appellee may have known of a probable risk of injury from its saw design. But on the record before us, we are unable to say appellee was substantially certain that appellant’s injury would result. Appellant VerBou-wens fails to plead an adequate theory or the elements of an intentional tort. We hold summary judgment was properly awarded below on this issue.
II.
The gravamen of appellant Ver-Bouwens’ second issue is that appellee Hamm Wood Products, as the designer and manufacturer of a dangerous saw, falls within an exception to the exclusivity rule set forth in SDCL 62-4-38:
Whenever an injury for which compensation is payable under this title shall have been sustained under circumstances creating in some other person than the employer a legal liability to pay damages in respect thereto, the injured employee may at his option either claim compensation or proceed at law against such other person to recover damages or proceed against both the employer and such other person, but he shall not collect from both. (Emphasis supplied.)
In order to reach appellant VerBouwens’ desired result, we would have to hold that employers can be held liable to employees separate and apart from their employer status.
In Wilson v. Hasvold, 86 S.D. 286, 194 N.W.2d 251 (1972), we addressed the issue of who constitutes someone other than an employer for purposes of SDCL 62-4-38. Our primary holding in Hasvold, 194 N.W.2d 251, allowed a corporate officer who was not an employer to be held liable under limited circumstances as a fellow-employee. Most importantly, we also held in Hasvold that an employer could not be a person subject to liability under SDCL 62— 4-38. We cited with approval in Hasvold, 86 S.D. at 291, 194 N.W.2d at 254, the following language from Neal v. Oliver, 246 Ark. 377, 388-89, 438 S.W.2d 313, 319 (1969):
“[I]f the corporation was the employer and Oliver was the mere president, he was not personally liable in tort or under the compensation act for injuries sustained by corporate employees who are injured on defective corporate owned and maintained machines and equipment. If Oliver was the actual employer, his corporate title made no difference. His business was within the provisions of the Workmen’s Compensation Law, the appellant’s injury was compensable under the compensation law, and her rights thereunder are exclusive.”
Therefore, appellant VerBouwens’ “dual capacity” theory is defective and not the law of this jurisdiction. Here, appellant Ver-Bouwens’ recovery is exclusively governed by our Worker’s Compensation Law.
Affirmed.
