you can't trust anyone who's not yourself, and even then, you can't always trust yourself. I say workout at home. ;)

Yeah, like I said, I'm probably going to see a plastic surgeon today or soon to make sure I don't end up with any horrific scarring. My insurance will cover all the medical costs - including the $400 ambulance ride :) - so I'm not immediately worried about that. Since it wasn't my fault, though, it does seem like my insurance will be kind of pissed off. I don't know if my insurance will want to go after him to recoup costs or what but it certainly seems like they could.

As for me taking him for all he's got, I haven't even thought about that yet. Certainly if I have to get surgery of some kind I won't want to pay for it but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Monetary compensation for my mental pain and anguish could be in order as well. Seems to me any case I brought against him would be pretty much open and shut.

We'll get there when we get there.

Um, if you want you're pretty much guaranteed to win a suit in civil court against the guy who dropped the weights on your face. Not against the school, but definitely against the guy.

Yeah he would, but is it worth ruining another person financially for an honest mistake? Recouping losses is one thing, maybe a little extra for the inconvenience, but as long as his face gets fixed as good as new, then ruining the guy financially is just mean.

Hope it all works out for you.

dude wtf are you doing ... chicks dig scars.

Seriously, something primitive about it, but as long as its not all like grotesque it can only help you.


Make sure you slightly change the story from : "butter-muscles droped weights on my head, i ran to the hospital all crying and stuff"


to: "Ok here i was lifting like half a house when 3...no 5 ninjas all come busting through the windows and demand my wallet...im all like ' wtf cant you see im pumpin iron to help build houses for habitat for humanity faster' they were like 'we must kung-fu fight'. So one of them picks up board with a nail in it and starts waving it at me while the others cheer him on.

see? the women they will be powerless

by looking at picture and reading story i assume you are still in highschool is that assumption is in corrrect ignore the rest of my question.

Assuming that he is still in high school woudn't the only person he can sue is really the school as the person that dropped it is a minor or am i totally wrong here. (i admit i know exactly nothing about the law)

Based on the URL, I'd guess he's in college.

Yeah, I'm a senior at the University of Illinois. Thanks for thinking I look 15, though! :confused: I'm on the Urbana-Champaign campus, by the way.

And to slappy00:

HA! I like your version of reality much, much better. In my defense, though, there was no crying. Just lots of bleeding.

Ditto.

Glad it wasn't worse man! I'm suprised it didn't do more damage. Was it a standard 20kg Oly bar? Or wast it a thinner and lighter bar? I can't see a standard 20kg Oly bar doing that little damage flipping over and hitting someone!

At least it didn't hit you in your eye socket or mouth :(

No, it wasn't a full 20kg bar. It was one of those shorter, smaller, and bent curl bars that weighs around 8-10kg, I think. It's about a meter long. I can't even imagine what would have happened had it been the 20kg bar. I don't even want to think about that.

And yeah, I got pretty lucky in that it didn't hit any more sensitive areas of face. The forehead was bad enough but my eye sockets or teeth would have been worse. :disgust:
