While I’m sorry he was injured, he can’t blame everything on the gym or the ball. Whatever happened to taking responsibility for one’s own actions?

Maybe he has a legitimate complaint. If the fellow was using the ball in a manner prescribed by the YMCA, and if the ball failed due to some manufacturing defect, then I don't see how you can blame the guy who got hurt.

If, OTOH, the use was non-standard and the ball was OK, then he's got no case.

If the ball failed because he was over the weight limit, that’s his own fault.

Either way, I don’t see that the Y is responsible for the ball bursting. However, in today’s lawsuti happy mindset, that’s totally irrelevant.

Big *if* there. I can’t see that that’s how the ball is meant to be used.
