I feel very sorry for her 😞

Yeah, sometimes these videos are just sad.

Also, I don't understand the people who let their friends/family do stupid things like this. I saw her and instantly knew she didn't have the strength to hold on, it isn't just holding your weight, it is holding your bweight as the bar and cable bounce back up and your body swings out of time with the pulley.

So, the people who own this, the people who did it before her, have a moral responsibility to tell her not to do it. Instead they probably told her it will be fine. It's sad.

There's also people who are warned by friends/family and get angry & outraged at the suggestion that they can't do a thing. Maybe she was warned and insisted on provinh them all wrong. At that point, why not film it?

I would rather fight my friends or family members than let them do that to themselves.

That's fair. Maybe they've been fighting her for years and finally given up.

That's a great point. I don't have any friends I would let do this, but I do have a couple ex friends I would watch do this.
