The coroner's concerns
1. failure to attach emergency stop cord
“During the inquest | heard evidence that during initial gym induction users are advised, in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction, that they attach a cord which acts as an emergency stop if anything untoward should occur. At the time in question the deceased did not attach the cord and evidence confirmed it was not normal practice for the gym to enforce use of the emergency cord. It is impossible to say whether this would have made any difference to the deceased but steps should be taken”
