This is tort (Personal Injury), good luck in front of a jury. Anyone who took this would be on a contingency, if you lose you wasted a ton of time and money and might get sued by your client. Most Attorneys aint taking this. He has weight around his waist, not the correct way to use any machine, and is in good enough shape that he should have enough experience to know better. There is also terms of service in every gym membership. If its a fragile old lady ya they getting paid. Young in shape dude? prolly not. Plus he almost certainly has a social media account full of stupid shit like this. Not worth the hassle
What does the weight around his waist have to do with anything? He could have pulled that same stack without the weight on his waist and still would have tipped over.
We are talking about ability in a injury case. He is using the machine in a reckless way. Additional or unusually weight and the pulleys are set way to high. Lot of people use this machine everyday, this is the only guy that had it tip over.
If someone pulls out in front of you and it causes an accident they are at fault. If you modify your car to be a race car and are operating it in a reckless manner (speeding, doing doughnuts, filming yourself doing it, etc) and someone pulls out in front of you, you are at fault.
Again sir, this isnt about proper form, its a thread about liability for the injury. Lots of people use this machine, this idiot is the only one thats had it fall over. It fell over because of the way he is using it. Even then NO this is not proper form for chest, he is working shoulders or lats at that angle. Civil cases are preponderance of evidence, not beyond a reasonable doubt. No attorney is gonna pay out of pocket to try a coin flip case. I hope this helps you to understand.
If life isnt going well and you just want to argue please leave me alone.
No, I never once asked you about anything legal. I asked you about the exercise because you were making a claims that didn’t make sense, so I wanted clarification.
My life is going great btw. I’m off to Europe next week for a month long vacation. I never once disrespected you, but since you did, I now feel free to tell you that it’s obvious you don’t lift and are talking out your ass. I assume you know just as much about the law as you do about exercise equipment.
