    There’s really not enough of the story here to make an informed decision.

    It’s actually VERY possible to do serious damage to yourself in a work-out before there’s major pain associated with the workout.

    Build-up of lactic acid can lead to a whole mess of complications but you won’t necessarily be in so much pain that you’d know you need to stop.

    There’s muscle pulls, soft tissue damage, coronary, anurism, etc that can all happen with no warning at all.

    The gym should have some sort of clause in their membership agreement stating that you enter into any excercise regimine understanding the risks associated with your behavior and release the gym from all but the most serious negligence.

    We don’t really know what happened while this guy was at the gym. Was there warning signs a trained person should have recognized and stopped the routine? Was there pain leading up to the injury that should have alerted him to stop? Etc.

    Work out injuries – oh, my ! Unstated but an important point is that there is no evidence that (what ever is wrong with this unfortunate swabie)even HAPPENED during his gym time. Quite a few time over my so-called career, i found that folks brought recreational or home chore activites to a venue with liability cover (even better with premesis medical) for compensation

    I was always amazed how many back injuries occurred on Monday morning.

    Who’s the winney liberal? Me? Hah… far from it.

    What’s “liberal” about pointing out that (as usual) IJ hasn’t provided enough information to make an informed decision regarding a PI suit?

    What’s “liberal” in pointing out that it is possible to be injured while participating in an athletic sport without warning?

    What’s “liberal” in suggesting there should be a clause in the gym’s contract promoting personal responsibility?

    If nothing else, that last one alone sounds like enough evidence that my post was not a liberal’s rant.

    As much fun as I have making fun of whining liberals I’ve been seeing a whole hell of a lot of whiney conservatives lately who knee-jerk to find something they can call “liberal” because it reinforces their own insecurities about their convictions; “Hey everyone, look at me… I’m a conservative!”
