Thread: Who Whould You Blame?

the kid and her husband are assholes for not showing any concern after the fact. and the kid should have stopped another person about to be injured because of something unexpected he was doing with the treadmills. who the fuck is supposed to expect an empty treadmill is going 6mph?

Id blame the stupid old woman.

Pay attention.

My blame goes to.............Jailhouse, he saw the whole thing.

I could not believe the husband, he was not concerned one bit for his wife.

I understand what your saying about not expecting the treadmill to be on but If I was about to get on a treadmill id see and hear if it was running first.

Agreed! I think people really need to pay better attention to their surroundings, but if I were the kid, I'd probably help the woman after she face planted (NOT BEFORE - BITCHES GOTTA LEARN ).

lol, the whole gym saw it, you couldn't miss it. It was one the worst accidents Ive seen. Considering the womans age I thought she was dead after that.

How old would you guess the kid and old lady are?

And the kid was running like this for two hours?

i would blame both. the women for not paying attention, and the kid for not saying any thing. you cant really blame the gym thats like dropping a bar on your chest with out a spot. its your own damn fault for doing to much.

No, I think it was the old woman's husband that went for 2 hours.

People need to take responsibility for their own actions (though the kid should probably have helped, after the fact).

-Hey, I live in a state flooded with retired people. I nearly got into two accidents yesterday. We see people all the time who have strokes or seizures behind the wheel and kill others. I even had one who slammed her brakes to stop in the middle of the road because a school bus was stopping next to her and the stop signs were being deployed. She was not even thinking about the fact that there were three or four people behind her - almost had a pile-up because of of a crazy old woman (she even had a state DMV plate ). Yeah you must stop for the bus, but the bus driver will not let kids out unless traffic has stopped and his signs were still being deployed.

So I deserve my bit of personal revenge at the gym (oh, I'm sorry, were you standing right there while I was doing those deadlifts?? Oh well).

It's not the kid's fault that she busted her ass, but he damn sure should have stopped once he saw her. BUT, it is also not the gym's fault. I worked at Gold's Gym for over 5 years, and I know that every single person that signs anything pertaining to being a member of that gym signs a waiver saying that they know that they are working out at their own risk. The gym didn't have shit to do with that old bag of dust knocking her dentures out. Fucking idiot should've watched what in the hell she was doing. I do think it was shitty for them to leave her in the lobby though. Honestly though, the gym had nothing to do with it.

The kid just turned 21 this week. The old women is in her late sixties to mid seventy's.
The kid just finished lifting and went to finish with his cardio, he was prolly on there for about 10 min.
Its the ass hole husband who made her wait so he could work out, I couldn't believe it.

In my opinion, if you fall and injure yourself, it is your fault. Litigation is out of control, and people never want to accept the blame for their own mistakes.

Sorry for the old lady's injuries and all, but if you can't figure out when you are stepping on a moving treadmill, then you don't belong on one.

How the fuck does somebody do that anyway? Did she even look at the damn thing before she stepped on it?

I dunno. She wasn't the sharpest knife in the kitchen.

People just freakin cruise all day and never look up.

Especially old people. Thats how you die, is you have your head so far up your own ass, you cant see whats going on around you.

That's right! Bitches Got to Learn!

The lady, although the kid could have put a towel on the recovery treadmill. Although, I think Barack Obama and his connection with ACORN may share some of the responsibility, and Bill Ayers may have factored in somewhere.

The kid probably was listening to music and not paying attention to the other treadmill. i wouldn't have been. If you step on a moving treadmill and get injured. you have no one to blame but yourself.

Sounds like a reasonable connection, good sir.

Why should he stop? Everyone saw it and assuming he isnt a trained medical professional he woulda just got in the way.

What do you guys want him to do, get off and say "Sorry". He didn't do shit. That kid is probably a total badass. I nominate him for some sort award.

This is hilarious. Sad and not so funny outside but in the inside Im sure most of us had a good laugh.

At first I was gonna ask how she was gonna SEW a gym. But then you said she was in her late sixties, maybe seventies. Old ladies do those kinds of things.

I glad you guys feel the same way I do about it. My coworkers think im an ass hole.

it looked like this but much worse and with a old women.

My bet is on the fact that the old man is probably used to her doing stupid shit. I betting that they've been married 50 + years and this wasn't the first time he had to watch her make a fool of herself. I mean I've seen many treadmills and have never come across the super stealth model that you couldn't tell was running. This could've happened in many other scenoario's say some one stepped of f the machine after an iintense work out and forgot to turn it off, or some kids had come through and been playing around and turned on a few to be funny..... A gym is not a place to set your mind on idle you gotta watch out for heavy objects being heaved all around you and other such things....

this could be the reason.

The young kid came in, he told me no one called him about it.
