"Reid, 75, claims he was injured while exercising with the band on Jan. 1 at his Henderson home.
"The TheraBand was mounted to a sturdy object in his bathroom," according to the lawsuit. "While in use, the TheraBand broke or slipped out of Mr. Reid's hand, causing him to spin around and strike his face on a cabinet."
According to the document, Reid suffered "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.""
So did it slip from his hand or did it break? That's unspecific language for a lawsuit.
I have never used these kinds of bands in an exercise program, but when I have stretched them, I always thought, 'how likely is it they will they break and hit me in the face?'

Well, that's one way to counter the rumors of his having been beaten up -- sue the shit of an American company and put those people out of work! Bonus: more money for tort lawyers -- the DNC's biggest friend.
I wish there was a way to get at the truth here.
Harry Reid is one of those guys who -- as he goes into retirement -- one wishes would continue to be quoted for all the vile things he said while in office. But alas, he'll just retire richer than ever and fade into obscurity.
Imagine the casino money that's made it's way into his pockets.
Anytime I'm in trouble, and I know the truth is gonna hurt me, I always remember W.W.H.D.? = What Would Harry Do?
And when is Romney going to jail for not paying taxes for a decade? I can't believe what some people get away with.
Harry seems like he would be a great friend to have ........ if you were a criminal.
I'd like to buy him another faulty exercise TheraBand.
I know some very good attorneys that would rip him a new asshole in a deposition.
Hillary/Harry 2016!
I'm getting old. Not just regular aging either, ancient inside. Know how I can tell?
Reading the story this morning, the claims in his suit, the damages listed his physical damages, I thought, "Sheesh. That really is bad. Wouldn't wish that on an enemy."
That's the ghost of the old me speaking.
Come on. We're human, we don't wish such things on each other. I have Bell's palsy myself, I know by feeling directly, I don't wish this on anyone else. It's unChristian. Jesus wouldn't feel this, wouldn't want this. It hurts our own spirit to harbor such wishes. Stop it.
Then I see him in the Senate pit immune from lawsuit himself apparently brain damaged speaking endlessly about two solidly good American citizens, traducing them endlessly, seriously endlessly, wasting all that time on his bizarre obsession you must say a long dragged out criminal effort. And all that touching Christian sentiment evaporates to mist and I think, "Hell yes! Broken socket, blindness in one eye, facial paralysis for the rest of his life, obvious brain damage, and let that be a lesson." Only one eye? Have both. Take the mouth too. I've seen too much suffering from innocent fine people misled by the likes of Harry Reid, and suffered enough myself to feel old inside, ancient inside, feel old inside about harboring human sympathy for the clearly deranged demented demonic asthmatic wheezing Harry Reid his physical suffering the very least he deserves for his observable recorded behavior. Try breaking both arms and limited to a wheelchair. You can't push the f'n thing. That would be suitable, not punishment, no, suitable balance. Even that's an ancient idea, that would be the balance of Maat restored.
Sorry. Too old and even older inside. No sympathy for that. Empathy reading 0. Die already. No golden retirement for you, candle used up, burnt singed at both ends.
TheraBand, you had one job. JUST ONE JOB!!!
Grifters.
The discovery process should be fun, though.
Well if so why didn't he file sooner? The injuries can only be evaluated by photos now.
I think the Theraband company needs to depose family -- especially his brother -- and cross check the stories.
The rumor that made more sense and had backup was that he and his drunken brother got into a brawl. Check the net from back then.
I can't think of anything strong enough in my bathroom to bear the stress of an exercise band but the toilet.
