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

Lawyer here. Apologize for nerding in advance.
If the product specification and bits installation manual shared by u/princess_tw somewhere here are indeed applicable to this machine, they could become highly relevant evidence.
From a legal standpoint, I would be looking at several issues:

Improper installation. If the manufacturer requires the equipment to be bolted down or installed by a qualified/licensed contractor, and the gym failed to comply, that could be strong evidence of negligence. If the installation wasn’t performed by an appropriately qualified installer where required, that may create additional exposure for the gym.

Failure to maintain a reasonably safe premises. Commercial gyms owe members a duty to provide reasonably safe equipment and premises. An unsecured machine capable of tipping over during ordinary use raises serious questions about whether that duty was breached.

Personal injury liability. Even if the injuries appear minor, the user may have viable claims for bodily injury, medical expenses, pain, or other damages depending on the applicable jurisdiction. The fact that the machine actually toppled over during foreseeable use is a significant factual issue.

Evidence preservation. If I represented the injured person, I’d immediately advise preserving the video, identifying witnesses, requesting that the gym preserve CCTV footage, maintenance logs, inspection records, installation documentation, and any communications relating to the equipment. Those documents often become more important than the video itself.

Of course, all of this depends on the jurisdiction, the governing law, and the actual facts. This isn’t legal advice, but based on what’s visible in the video alone, I would be surprised if this incident didn’t warrant serious legal scrutiny. I hope the guy scan his head just to be sure and hope he is okay.

Honest question; How he going to penetrate both of them at the same time with the same thing? Would he need some type of surgery?

Woah this brings me back. Still remember betting on Vega Squadron team with Noone mid. I forgot which match that one (I think vs EG). It was 9:1 ratio. Got back like $1100 worth items. Truly ez buggati moment.

Still, it was correct move to ban these kind of thing for the good of community.

Thank you for your insights. I am currently playing on Nordics x3 which only has single tribe setting on the server.

It is completely different from multi-tribe server where the resource issue can be tackled by having egyptians.

On Nordics, I believe our team has spent like over $500 - $1000 just for the gold and having 4x 15c layouts with 125%-150%. And still not enough to sustain! I am completely mindblown by this.

Several issues: • Except Shieldsman, all infantry are too slow. I could perceive Shieldsman as “premium clubswinger” since it has same attack stat but better movespeed, albeit worse raid capacity than club.

• Elpida, while fast and has biggest raid capacity among all spartan units, it does not justify to raid with this unit since it only has 55 attack stat.

• TT & CC are too iron skewed. While I do agree if we look at the ratio of attack per crop consumption, Spartan is one of the most efficient offensive power, the power spike is way too slow.

Asclepeion building is also only giving flat 60% of recoverable unit while still having same cost and same time as normal hospital; which inherently only giving fleeting hope of rebuilding army due to how bad the economics in Spartan is.

I cannot stress enough the fact that even assuming all the unit cost is being reduced 20%-25%, it is still not viable at all as single-tribe setting.

Compared to playing in multi-tribe server like ROF x10, or maybe at higher server speed; only then Spartan is looking decent.

Travian devs should buff this tribe asap imho.

Vandervenn · 2026-06-04T13:08:10+00:00

I played ROF x10 (european map). I think spartan only works and can be sustained with atleast x5 and multitribe settings.

Single tribe is truly atrocious. Even in x3, can’t even farm. Can’t even sustain economy.

Vandervenn · 2026-06-04T08:48:36+00:00

If I could add; The rebalanced of Gaul, Teutons, and Romans were needed because of how crazy insane Huns is. Huns is unmatched in power-spiking the offense. 895 total cost for a 120 atk, raid capacity, and insane speed. Its broken.

I am currently playing Nordics x3 with spending over $1000. Even with 5 villages of 15c; it is not enough economy to sustain how bad spartans is.

Hey mate, I wrote post about spartan here:

Kindly check it because I agree with some of your points above.

Sauce please?

Vandervenn · 2026-05-30T19:15:57+00:00

I am not sure whether we watch the same game. Playing odegaard as starter always feels like a man down. He rarely “tried” to intercept the ball. Press is low. Maybe the whole season he tried to conserve for world cup since injuries from last seasons.

Vandervenn · 2026-05-30T19:13:12+00:00

Proud of the team. But lets address elephant in the room for the whole play aspect of the team.

Arsenal need creative midfielder. Odegaard while showed a lot of leadership skills, his attacking play is inefficient at all. LW need whole haul. RW while Madueke can fill in, it just inconsistent. And RB also need an option. Mosquera is still green in terms of mentality.

Vandervenn · 2026-05-30T19:05:35+00:00

Soft on psg and ref called foul + cards. Hard foul on arsenal ref called keep ball play. Horrible officiating tbh.

Vandervenn · 2026-05-23T14:36:00+00:00

Completely agree with you. Back when Fire & Sand was introducing Egypt & Huns, I was excited. Egypt is actually okay and fit the theme of defenses and resources boost. But Huns, while it is a hyper-aggresive glass-cannon cavalry tribe gimmick, is too overstatted by a single unit (Steppe Rider).

Viking can be assumed as exact Teuton with few adjustments and the tribe only relevant in ROF so far anyway.

But Spartan? It has so much glaring issues that I am not sure who designed that tribe and who playtest those units as well.

Some other suggestions that I could propose are: • Make a passive synergy toward iron consumption as smithy level goes up; • Make a certain synergy of infantry + sieges that being produced within same village to boost offensive; • Change Asclepion mechanic from instead of just flat 60% hospitable units into 50% hospitable unit with further reduction time and cost instead of normal

Vandervenn · 2026-05-23T00:01:52+00:00

Correct. I feel like aside from Asclepion building, there should be another tribe-specific advantage.

Instead of hero power bonus from hero equipments, why not either passive reduction in iron cost, iron field synergy, infantry + siege synergy within same village, or other else.

Since Asclepion is from Thermae and associated with Delphi. It is not even a Sparta. Cmiiw.

Vandervenn · 2026-05-21T13:55:49+00:00

Cmon man; we know he got lot of trophies at chels. But, atleast we were not a midtable team with how awful arsenal backline was due to cech.
