We wrote here about Harry Reids supposed close encounter with a piece of exercise equipment, which handed him in the hospital. The equipment was later claimed by Reids office to be an elastic exercise band. This is how the accident allegedly happened:
The accident happened when an elastic exercise band broke, striking Reid in the face and causing him to fall, said spokesman Adam Jentleson. Reid struck some equipment as he fell, breaking multiple bones near his right eye.
As he hit the floor, he broke several ribs, Jentleson said.
Jentleson said Reid is likely to have severe facial bruises.
The accident happened on New Years Day, but we were never told whether that meant after midnight on New Years Eve, or the middle of the afternoon on January 1. Lots of people must know the answer to that question, but so far they arent talking. I suppose it is barely possible that an elastic exercise band could break, hit someone in the face and cause him to fall down. And I suppose he could injure his face and break ribs in the fall, although the ribs, especially, seem like a stretch.

Super hero imitation gone wrong?
Harry was exercising and stopped to get a tune up.
The vistor log shows a couple of guys named Chuck and Dave visited him shortly before the ‘accident’.
Or visa-versa.
Reid’s family was in a near-fatal accident back in 2010.
Reid “slipped and fell” in 2011.
Reid was in a Vegas rear-end collision in 2012.
...and now Reid has had another “exercising” accident on New Year’s Eve/Day 2014-2015.
Just 2013 is missing. Nothing to see here. No pattern suggesting extortion...
Looks like a hard left hook did that
Elderly folks sometimes take a fall. He’s lucky he didn’t break something worse.
And when he woke up, saw her next to him in the bed, and realized what he had done, he beat the tar out of himself while moaning, "No! No! No!"....
Heh-heh, cute Reid blurb :-)
Hillary is what my husband calls double coyote ugly. Coyote ugly is when you wake up and chew off the arm around her to avoid waking her up. Double coyote ugly is when you chew off the other arm in case she comes looking for a one armed man.
So will Harry Reid be SUING the exercise equipment company? That’s what I would do if I got broken bones and other injuries because of faulty equipment. Of course, such a suit would cause discovery on the part of the exercise company. If Reid does NOT sue that company that tells us a lot right there.
Let me ask fellow Nevada Senator Geary about that.
Did Reid give new meaning and use for the “Knock-out” Game?
