Could this hypothetical situation be considered grounds for an entrapment suit?

Say that you’ve got a huge mess that you need to remove in a hurry, so you stuff it all into your closet. It’s so comically overstuffed that you must needs bar the door.
That night, while you’re out, someone breaks into your house and notices the barred door. Curiosity causes him to open the door, and he is subsequently crushed half to death by the sudden outpouring of all of your stuff.

So he decides to sue you, once he gets out of the hospital for ruining his life as a biped. Does he have a leg to stand on, or will the judge throw the case out?
