Recently in Changsha, southern China, a man was lifting weights at the gym when a woman walking past accidentally collided her jade bracelet with the barbell, resulting in damage to the bracelet. The woman later demanded compensation of 5000 yuan from the man, who found it unacceptable. Unable to reach a settlement on compensation, the man eventually had to seek assistance from the police.

Subsequently, some netizens pointed out that the same woman had experienced a similar incident of her bracelet breaking at a steam room in the past. At that time, the steam room owner offered to buy a bunch of such bracelets for 1000 yuan, but the woman claimed it was a gift from a friend and didn't know its value. She also expressed her intention to claim 5000 yuan in compensation from the steam room owner.

The feedback from netizens has yet to be confirmed by the police, and the incident is still under further negotiation and handling.

Regarding this, lawyer Zhao Liangshan stated that indeed, the female customer wore a bracelet while exercising and failed to exercise due care, thus bearing partial responsibility. The male customer also failed to fulfill his duty of careful observation of his surroundings, resulting in the collision that broke the woman's bracelet, thus also bearing partial responsibility. In addition, as the operator and manager of a public place, the gym should fulfill reasonable and prudent safety obligations and inform the woman not to wear valuable jewelry while exercising and to properly store valuable items. Therefore, in this case, the gym, the male customer, and the female customer are all at fault, and the responsibility of each party should be determined based on the extent of their respective faults.

近日，湖南长沙，一男子在健身房健身举杠铃时，一位女子从其身旁经过时所戴玉镯恰巧与杠铃发生碰撞，导致玉镯损坏。女子事后要求男子赔偿5000元，男子则觉得无法接受，双方就赔偿无法达成一致，男子最后只好报警并救助。
事后有网友指出，貌似这个女子之前在一家汗蒸馆也发生过镯子碎掉的事儿。当时汗蒸馆老板说1000千可以买一大堆这样的手镯，女子却说这是朋友送她的，不知道多少钱，女子也表示要向汗蒸馆老板索赔五千元。
对于网友的反馈，还未得到警方证实，目前事件还在进一步交涉处理中。
对此，律师赵良善称，诚然，女顾客在健身时佩戴手镯，且未尽到谨慎注意义务，自身存在一定过错，亦应承担部分过错责任。而男顾客对其周边的人未尽到仔细观察义务，存在过错，导致碰碎女顾客的手镯，亦应承担部分过错责任。此外，健身房作为公共场所的经营者、管理者，应当尽到合理、审慎的安全保障义务，应告知该女子切勿佩戴贵重首饰健身、妥善保管贵重物品等。因此，本事件中，健身房、男顾客与女顾客均存在过错，结合本案事实，据三方各自的过错大小来划分三方的责任。
