Floors in gyms that are used for weight training are generally rubberised. This is to prevent damage to the floor if a weight is dropped from a height.
The manufacturer rates the maximum supported weight of the mount as 40 pounds.
Homeowners insurance specifically excludes damage caused by earthquake and movement of earth or soil unless you purchase a separate endorsement for it. The damage has to be the result of a covered cause like fire, lightning, windstorm, weight of ice and snow, vehicle collision, etc. If it is not a covered cause the policy does not provide coverage.AnswerIf drought or ground or soil movement (shrinkage, expansion, etc) is not listed on your policy as a covered peril, then it's probably not covered. It would likely be considered an owners occasional maintenance issue.
Most definately.
Be more specific. Damage to your body? Damage to your home? To the environment? What kind of "damage"?
The new 'light' half inch sheets are about 32 pounds.
No. Homeowners insurance is probably the best bargain in insurance by offering a great deal of coverages for a surprisingly small premium. The situation you are describing is not an insurance matter but a maintenance issue. It is not made to cover maintenance of the home but covers accidents that are "sudden and accidental". Homeowners insurance covers incidents that are caused by a covered cause such as theft, fire, lightning, windstorm, vandalism, weight of ice and snow, and many others. Things that happen over a long period of time are maintenance and are therefore not sudden or accidental and are not covered. An example would be a leaking roof caused by condensation from the A/C is not covered but if a storm caused a tree limb to fall on the roof poking a hole and causing a leak then damage would be covered.
I assume that you are speaking of a property insurance claim involving a leak and subsequent damage caused by water damage. Property insurance is not made to cover maintenance of your property. The payment of the claim is determined by the cause of the initial damage and some other factors. One main thing to remember is that damage must be "sudden and accidental". Covered causes included fire, lightning, windstorm, weight of ice and snow, vehicle or airplane collision, theft, vandalism, etc. depending on your policy type and terms. A leak in the roof due to maintenance is not a covered cause and therefore not paid. If a storm blew a tree limb on the roof causing a hole then it is covered as well as damage from rain. You also have a requirement to mitigate the damage meaing that you have to do what you can to limit the damage as much as possible.
he dropped them to prove that gravity pulls things down at the same speed no matter what their weight
both!
This product is rated by its manufacturer as supporting a maximum weight of 40 pounds.
Fire / Lightning/Windstorms / Hail/Freezing of Plumbing / Pipes/Damage from Weight of Ice are usually covered in most homeowners insurance policy's. But you should check your policy and it will tell you WHAT IS NOT COVERED and then you could see if you want to add something that might be a problem in your area,like a disaster that might be in your area.
