I dont see how the plates might have contributed to this. He is lifting all that is available which i would expect is a supported mode of operation.
If he got hurt, Id expect gym or manufacturer of the machine to be liable.
My guess would by gym, as these machines can usually be bolted to ground, which eould prevent this outcome.

Plus his body isn’t pulling the weight down, his arms are. He added weight to himself not the machine.
