How bad would someone's form need to be for you to say something?

I watched the first minute or two. Obviously some of those were recorded by the person in the video or they knew they were being recorded by a friend. Others are obviously recorded by some lowlife d-bag without the subjects knowledge and then shared for the world to see. That is a scummy thing to do and so is approving of it and spreading it around even more. If I caught someone doing that they'd find out in short order what I thought of it and they'd be walking funny where I'd shove their cell phone.
Let's agree to disagree then, because I think most of these are hilarious.
So you would assault somebody over this?0 -
Me too. I'm too focused. I have never noticed anyone doing anything dangerous. And I don't know enough to help them. Certain dance form I do know, but people aren't going to hurt themselves. If the opportunity presents I will give a little tip about correct hip alignment.0

I've seen people doing dangerous things in pole and I just point the teacher in their direction or I will move to spot them so they don't injure themselves, but I do not go out of my way to behave like I'm the instructor.1 -

Not sure how to get the video to show...but this one is pretty funny. Still, I wouldn't say anything. What would the point be?0 -
Some of them are genuinely funny. I'm not even going to be sorry to say it. It is. Does it make me childish? sure. would I video someone? nope. but I'm not going to sit here and pretend to be holier than thou over it.
The one video with guy jumping back and forth on the cable tower?
I'd tell a staff member- it's dangerous- likely to damage the equipment and odds are high he's going to hurt himself. And it makes for a damn funny gym video fail.2 -

How would you like to be watching one with your family and see you or a loved one in the video? How would you feel to be shamed and embarrassed or witness one of your loved ones shamed and embarrassed for the whole world to see? I don't get how anyone can't see how deeply wrong this is. I can't believe society these days. I saw a video on a motorcycle riders board where someone in a car was filming an overweight lady on a scooter and laughing at her. She was just there, helpless, trying to get from point A to point B while watching the jerks film and laugh at her. Of course many others were posting mocking comments too. So, so wrong. But that's how society has become. It's so easy to do this I guess so that makes it ok. I'm SO glad that bimbo who took a picture of the older lady in the shower and posted that got caught and punished. I hope to see more of that in the future. Maybe it will make people think twice.
Back to your question, I would chew out the ignoramus doing it, point the jerk out to the person being recorded, making sure the whole room knew what was going on and if the individual doing the recording copped and attitude and got in my face then it would definitely be on. But I don't go strutting around just looking to start swinging. And there are many dudes at my gym I wouldn't want to have to tangle with but on this issue I wouldn't care.5 -
If you think that video is funny, check out Infinite Elgintensity on YouTube.0

I love this one and could be the person doing it. A lot of videos like this just look like the person is having a blast and doesn't gaf.3 -
An old guy shouted at me not to stretch for pre running and that over 40 warm up should be walking, picking up the speed of walk over 5 mins and then run. I've never been injured. So glad old guy shouted at me

That's pretty messed up.
those gym fail videos almost EVERYONE watches don't make themselves you know.
Granted I wouldn't do it- but I'm not going to sit here and side eye someone else for it.
I don't watch them so I don't know. *shrug*

Big difference between that and someone filming you without your knowledge or permission and then posting it online for the world to see. I guess if it doesn't bother you then they have your permission but they don't know it.
I was in Sturgis at the Full Throttle Saloon in 2010 when they were filming their reality show there. My friend and I had to sign releases so they could use our images on TV. We were fully aware we were being filmed and they got our permission. That's the way it should be, not weenies with their little spy cameras being sneaky off to the side.4 -

It's easy to say that when you know it will never happen. But that's fine if it doesn't bother you. It would bother me and it bothers a lot of other people. It's called ethics and respect for others. Simple as that.
Edit: I was just thinking, some of those people were obviously trying to hide the fact that they were filming. They knew it wasn't right but did it anyway. Just like that bimbo who took a picture of the lady in the shower and posted it. Hmmm, do you give full permission for people to take your picture in the shower and post it? : 3 -

LOL! Same as if you were looking at me - I just want to be the one who makes that decision, not some sneaky d-bag lurking in the corner with a spy camera.
Yes, a lot of that happens in Sturgis. I've seen a few things... nothing like you hear about though. The places I stayed and visited were pretty tame.2 -
I have a few times, but just approach them quietly and ask if they would like me to show them a correction. I have only done this when I see someone dangerously close to injury. I think it is wrong to not - someone could really hurt themselves and if you are experienced you should share your knowledge. If my partner is in the gym I would alert him as he is a PT there3

i am curious about the last bit, is that incase of law suits?
Not so much in terms of a law suit but if the person isn't your client you're not getting paid. Aside from genuine human concern no one is in this business to give away free advice.... once you begin that, everyone starts asking you for free advice lol!
A good PT doesn't need to worry about giving out free advice/tips. Give everything out in abundance and it will come back to you. Not only for PTs... for everything in life!2
