>A man was lounging in the steam room at a Colorado Springs gym in 2023 when a broken steamer spout exploded, burning almost a third of his body and ultimately killing him, according to a lawsuit.
The wrongful-death lawsuit brought against 24 Hour Fitness by the man’s family alleges the gym knew the spout was malfunctioning before the explosion that landed David Diaz in the hospital, where he spent more than $900,000 on medical care that failed to save his life.
“24 Hour Fitness knew or should have known that these acts were dangerous, done heedlessly and recklessly, without regard to the consequences, or the rights and safety of others, particularly Mr. Diaz, and that the acts posed a strong probability of injury,” the lawsuit says.
