Harry Reid Suing Exercise Equipment Firm Over Eye Injury

By Niels Lesniewski Posted at 3:44 p.m. today

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and his wife, Landra, are suing the manufacturer of the exercise band that slipped or snapped, leading to the Nevada Democrat’s eye injury.

According to court documents filed in Clark County, Nev., Reid alleges that the injury resulted from a faulty exercise resistance band, causing more than $50,000 in damages.

“As a result of the TheraBand breaking or slipping out of his hand, Plaintiff Harry Reid has suffered and continues to suffer from severe pain and injuries including, but not limited to, loss of vision in his right eye, a concussion, broken orbital bones, severe disfigurement and bruising to his face, hand injuries, facial lacerations, scarring, and broken ribs,” according to the complaint, which was obtained by Nevada journalist Jon Ralston.

I’d like to see him demonstrate the particular exercise that produced all those injuries.

Never understood why anyone would exercise with a rubber band.

Elastic bands, especially those with handles, are a convenient way to get some resistance training without actually using weights.

Harry’s not stupid. He must have worked a deal where these guys settle with him and he pays them off somehow. Then he can put to rest the stories about his brother kicking his ass.

“injuries including, but not limited to, loss of vision in his right eye, a concussion, broken orbital bones, severe disfigurement and bruising to his face, hand injuries, facial lacerations, scarring, and broken ribs”

“As a result of the TheraBand breaking or slipping out of his hand ”

Harry doesn’t know if the band broke or slipped out of his hand? Who is to blame Harry or the band? It was the cabinet that Harry fell into that worked him over, maybe Harry should sue the cabinet.

You may have something there. My first thought was “He’s only suing for $50,000 and he is blind in one eye?” Seems a small amount of money for such a serious and permanent injury.Something doesn’t smell right to me.

It hit him in the eye and he broke a rib?
