editI did read the whole linked article. You, (I assume it is you, since it was an IP that actually removed it) removed some info which I reinserted. You claim I don't understand the topic at hand. Well let's see if I do understand. Removed statement:
- They say Crossfit workouts are so intense that participants risk injury or even death from rhabdomyolysis. At least one CrossFit trainer has been the target of a lawsuit.
The referenced article says:
- "Lawsuit alleges CrossFit workout damaging"
- "The lawsuit, filed by former Information Systems Technician 1st Class Makimba Mimms in Prince William County, Va., Circuit Court late last year, seeks $500,000, as well as punitive damages, in connection with the permanent disability Mimms allegedly suffered as a result of performing the CrossFit workout under the direction of a trainer at a Manassas gym."
- “Several [experts] in the sports medicine field (military and civilian) have addressed a concern that the program has the potential for causing an increased incidence of musculoskeletal injuries and even muscle breakdown (rhabdomyoloysis) and therefore is not supported by [Navy Center for Personal and Professional Development],”
- "The lawsuit is part of an emerging body of evidence that CrossFit may be damaging to participants’ health, perhaps even causing death — a possibility acknowledged by its founder as early as 2005."
What part of the removed information is not supported by the reference information I have provided? Jons63 (talk) 06:42, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well there is the problem, we read the same statement differently. I read "Crossfit trainer" as a trainer that uses the Crossfit methodology, the same way I read "CrossFit workout under the direction of a trainer". Neither one of theses 2 statements say who certified the trainer or even if the trainer was certified by anyone and I didn't assume that anyone was certified. Just a suggestion, try fixing the information first to remove the concern rather than removing content and sources. Jons63 (talk) 12:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
