We wrote here about Harry Reid’s supposed close encounter with a piece of exercise equipment, which handed him in the hospital. The equipment was later claimed by Reid’s 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 Year’s Day, but we were never told whether that meant after midnight on New Year’s Eve, or the middle of the afternoon on January 1. Lots of people must know the answer to that question, but so far they aren’t 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.
Originally, Reid’s office said that he expected to be at work when the Senate session opened. But that didn’t happen; Reid is now laid up indefinitely, although his office released photos to show that he is working from home. It was disclosed today that, in addition to his other injuries, he suffered a concussion. Dick Durbin offered a more detailed version of what happened to Reid:
“So, he was stretching these straps and one broke and tossed him like a slingshot against cabinets, built-in cabinets,” Durbin told reporters. “He crashed into it with his face and the side of his body.”
I doubt that any elastic exercise band could break and thereby toss a person like a slingshot. This set includes an “extra heavy” band with 45 pounds of resistance:
