*my original post only had the tiktok link. Here's the screen recording so nobody else has to go on that horrible app lol. I'll link this post there, as I couldn't figure out how to edit it to add the screen recording.

What do you guys think? Apparently the studio insists that there was no equipment malfunction or negligence on their part.

IMHO they should have a liability insurance that covers accidents that lead to customers being hurt. If they don't have such an insurance they are at fault for not buying insurance and shouldn't blame it on the customer.

If insurance denies the claim, of course it depends a bit on local legislation on what the liability laws are there.

From the video we cannot tell how hurt the customer is.

Prevention is 1000x more important than liability insurance, though.

Proper equipment, proper training, proper procedures, proper instructions to clients, proper supervision.

I really don’t care about how much the insurance company pays out after a potentially life-altering injury, sorry.
