Cycle to heal 13 staples to head, weight room mishap

[budwardo09]

Just kidding I know there is knothing I can do is wait but listen to this shit. Was using the cable push down machine, alternating with afriend of mine. Went to do my set of push downs and the pin came out of the machine and the pully hit me in the head. Split me 7 inches long from the top of my head to my hairline, 13 staples and a concussion. Had the whole stack on. i was just planning on shaving my head, guess im going to have a nice scar. Hope you can not see it to bad

That's what you get for doing a sissy exercise that has no purpose.

JMHO, but get well soon.

Wow dude...

Was the pin not in properly or did it break off? If it broke off, I would be speaking to the management about liability. If it cut you that bad, it could have potentially caused permanent damage.

If it wasn't set properly, then god damn you need to be careful.

Get well, brother.

yep a guy at my gym had the same thing happen to him. cut him good and he ended up getting free membership for his whole family for life.

i call him tonna coz he weighs a ton, must eat a ton of food and is always tryin to lift a ton (with the worst form imaginable)

Honestly, the gym has insurance, and should be made to pay your medical bills. That should not have happened.

I use to run a gym....we kept insurace for this type of thing or actually any type of injury sustained on our property...if the management didnt get statements and pics of you and the equipment..also gathered statement from witnesses....well then you have got it made bro. The management didnt gatherr evidence to help protect them and if you even make a statment that you might be looking into a lawsuit to pay your medical bills, then their insurance will offer you a nice large out of court settlement. NOt saying you should sue...or that its right...but if it was faulty equipment and you have a concusion ( that could have side effect years from now) then you have to make sure your protected.

Why don't you just tell us what really happened? You got caught doing curls in the squat rack again didn't you?

i'm pretty sure most gyms have a waiver included in the membership. lol at the title of the thread. that totally sux but everything happens for a reason. maybe you need to rest your muscles for a couple weeks...
