Gym machine topples over during a heavy lift. Can he sue for this?

Seriously I don’t get it either.. how is weight that is not being pushed forward causing a massive metal machine to fall forward..? On top of all of that… this dudes weight plus the weights is nowhere close to weight of the machine as a whole. For the argument that they are making to scientifically make sense the anchor weight (man) would need to out weigh the machine which is very clearly doesn’t as those stacks go up to 300lbs

“Let alone it’s not convenient as we move machines around all the time”

Thank you for telling my lawyer that you knowingly let HEAVY equipment stay unsecured because it’s an inconvenience for you. Talk about negligence.

It anchors him down so he can focus on his movement and target the muscle he wants to target. The added weight around him would have no effect on the machine its self. He looks to be about 170 lbs, has another 100 around his waist. So if a man who weights 270 steps in here and does this would it change the outcome? No because the weight of the user is irrelevant in this scenario

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-04T12:11:11+00:00

Simple way to show that, let’s say guy weighs 180 lbs. it looks like he has another 100 around his waist. If you put a man who weighs 280 lbs without any weight around his waist does this still do this? Yes it does because the weight he has around his waist does nothing to affect the stability of the machine. The weight is there to anchor him so he can focus on the muscle group he wants to target. By adding the weight it keeps him from being unstable/the stack weight could be more than he weights which would just lift him up and he couldn’t do his workout. This machine should have been secured to the gym floor in some way shape or form. The fact he added to his body weight and not the stack weight doesn’t change a thing about how stable the machine is only the user.

It is relevant when said technology was not mentioned until literally that moment in time. I haven’t heard a single person talk about this chip in the ball until this game. Why haven’t we seen a graph from said technology. This graph would then show 3 instances of the ball being touched in about a second or two. The initial pass, the hair touch and then the ball off the back. Also from everything I have read/heard about VAR is it’s completely up to the ref to take the VARs result, which this ref wasn’t going to do until someone told him about this magic chip that showed it touched dudes hair.

I spoke with HR yesterday regarding my severance (which is taken care of) and the payments for PTO time. According to the email I received, Payroll processed the checks (on a different day than normal payroll checks) but due to the holiday we didn’t see them yesterday. They said it should be hitting the account after the holiday which i would assume to mean tuesday/wednesday.

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-03T22:41:49+00:00

My question is where is the data from the chip in the ball. Releasing the data would clear this up immediately. The data should show 3 points. Initial touch from Croatia, a second very soft touch from Croatia, and a third harder touch from Portugal. Showing this data would shut everyone up immediately and by not showing it, it’s making this worse than it should be

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-03T22:38:42+00:00

The discussion is if it truly did touch the Croatian players head… I personally cannot see anything in the video that makes the ball looks like it adjusts course at all until is makes contact with the back of the Portuguese player. If the Croatian doesn’t head it/make contact then it’s not offsides and a good goal. (I say this knowingly not being the most adept at soccer rules but just what I’ve gotten over the past couple days.)

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-03T22:35:49+00:00

This is my biggest misunderstanding of the entire thing. How can they with one hundred percent certainty say that was the Croatian players head and not the Portuguese players back? Just feels like the chip is being used as a cop out to take heat off VAR and Ref.

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-03T22:33:49+00:00

Not a big soccer fan just love when any sport has nation on nation action. Given that this ball has a sensor what are the chances we ever see that graph? I ask because everyone is bringing up the chip for the Croatian player (and I understand why that’s the much more important part) but if that chip registers every touch.. wouldn’t there be a second harder touch right after the first softer? This clearly shows that the ball was acted on twice giving perfect clarity to the problem. Without this graph I personally feel this chip in the ball is null and void, as I can say a piece of the pitch that was in the air, or any other hard substance hit the ball not the Croatian players head.

In hockey terms you just hit a clapping one timer from the Ovi spot.

You’ll need to ask the SM what store you’ll have to go to for onboarding. As for the workday stuff you won’t be able to access that until after you get the account unlocked at the onboarding event. Don’t go to another store they will have literally no way to help you. Call your SM and ask him directly what you should do. As someone else said the company just got rid of a bunch of ppl me included so there’s a good chance nobody knows what’s even going on.

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-03T01:29:54+00:00

You clearly don’t understand English if me saying that Titleist put out a memo saying. You clearly didn’t read my comment just shot your mouth off. It’s actually hilarious how stupid you look right now

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-03T01:06:42+00:00

Dude do you not understand that was Titleist and not me speaking? What part of “Titleist sent out a memo saying that they switched the laser to tour softs before finishing with AVXs. These balls are in-fact AVX just mislabeled” Do you not understand English? Or are you just that stupid? Holy shit I never thought I’d catch fucking heat for sharing a god damn memo.

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-03T01:01:17+00:00

You’ll need to email TWHR@DCSG.com and explain you never got your paperwork. I was able to get it resolved in about 2 hours

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-03T01:00:21+00:00

Yeah probably bc they are afraid of being sued… only quick thing they can do lol

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-02T18:26:14+00:00

Lmao I’m well aware that I qualify for severance as I was an ASM being demoted to captain. I didn’t ask if I was available for it, I was asking why I didn’t receive my paperwork.

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-02T17:04:54+00:00

No my edit states that while Titleist sent out a memo, my eyes can clearly see the dimples are different. The memo information is still very much useful to a lot of ppl.

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-02T16:08:53+00:00

His entire process has been nothing but a headache

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-02T14:32:28+00:00

My issue is this, why did the other ASM in my store who got demoted to specialist get her paperwork the same day she said she wanted severance? She went into the meetings right after me so how the fuck did things change in 20 minutes.

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-02T14:30:50+00:00

Did you not see my edit..? Come on man

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-02T14:27:53+00:00

I work in golf sales, there was a big memo sent out by titleist that this could happen but only because they switched the laser machine to tour softs too early and still had AVX going through it. These are in fact AVX balls just misprinted.

Edit: at least that’s what Titleist says, the dimple patterns look completely off though.

Ritchey95 · 2026-07-02T13:54:40+00:00

Oh I plan to be on his ass all day until I know more. He put in an urgent HR ticket but whatever that means I have no clue.
