Ok, someone has to be the whiney liberal so let me try…
You guys are being to Haaarrrd on this poor man! He will never be able to make his regular sperm bank contributions now as a direct result of what can only be described as a cruel and thoughtless workout regime administered by people who hold little value for human life or dignity! How awful! Try to have some heart for the plight of this man; it just isn’t faaiirr!
Rule #1 of working out – if it hurts, don’t do it. There will always be signs that tell you to stop well before you start urinating blood and lose the ability to stand. No single workout session will do that. This guy is an idiot and I wonder what else is going on in his life that contributed.
Lemme get this straight; this goober goes to the gym and signs up for this type of workout which is known to be fairly intense by normal “workout” standards.
Then apparently over exerts himself to the point that he pops his dink-bag; and that’s the gym’s fault???
What a jack ***.
There is no one to blame but yourself.
Sack up (no pun intended) and put some ice on it.
Geez, then the workout instructor says “bust a nut”, you are not supposed to take it literally. This guy is a whiney little turd who doesn’t deserve anything but ridicule
I hope this guy loses his case and then has a ton of legal bills to pay. Maybe if more judges dismissed these types of suits, there would be less of them. What a waste of time and money.
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
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!”

Makimba Mimms should have learned some common sense in the Navy. This 29 year old deserves nothing but smack upside the head. So does his attorney.
He was a “former Navy information systems technician.”
I knew he wasn’t a SEAL.
I think some of your missed the human anatomy class…..

The Squid should have done the “Girly Man” workout with the firefighter… Then he wouldn’t have had anything to complain about
And we wonder why it takes so long for the courts to complete a case . . . .

You should have waited goodhands. The whiney liberal was up next.
I love it when you guys post; You don’t miss much it is sooo entertaining! But on the serious side, sorry but stupid is as stupid does….’nuff said!
…he’d have done so.

I was always amazed how many back injuries occurred on Monday morning.
Who’s the winney liberal? Me? Hah… far from it.
