Former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid told a Nevada jury Thursday that his career was cut short by injuries he suffered when a TheraBand exercise device slipped from his hand and he fell in his home bathroom in 2015.
From a wheelchair on the witness stand in a product liability lawsuit against Ohio-based device maker Hygenic Corp., the 79-year-old longtime Democratic leader covered half his face with his hand to indicate the bones he said were “smashed” when he spun around and fell against cabinets in his bathroom.
Despite surgeries, he said he has irreparable retina damage and can only distinguish light from dark in one eye.
“I hurt myself really bad,” he said. “I spun around. I can’t tell you more specifically. I hit the counter.”

Ah. Here he is.
I don't know if the therapy center was named in the lawsuit, but they would certainly would have been called to the stand to answer question about what exercises and equipment they recommended or provided.
:~)
The bands did it. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. Another money grab for the old POS. Where’s Michael Corleone when you need him??
Harry POS Reid ALERT
Device injury. Yeah, sure.
Is he also suing the Liquor store that provided the booze that just happened to allow him to get drunk on the exercise machine...
So, Harry’s brother is considered an exercise machine?

+. Oldie but a goody.
Harry lost the case.
Reid seems to be bright, but stupid. It’s possible he secured that metal plate directly to drywall with screws. Then, after repeated use, the drywall lost its grip on the screws and upon a load, the metal plate launched from the wall and propelled into Dingy’s moronic face.
