Heart Attack Grill Victim Customer Collapses - Information

Heart Attack Grill Victim  Customer Collapses - Information. For the second time in two months, a customer at Las Vegas' Heart Attack Grill collapsed mid-meal and was carted off to a hospital.

A Las Vegas woman in her 40s collapsed at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas while dining on a double bypass burger, smoking cigarettes and drinking a margarita. She was found unconscious at the restaurant.
Two months ago, a customer at the same restaurant suffered a heart attack while eating a triple bypass burger. Incidentally, one year ago, the Heart Attack Grill's 575-pound, 29-year-old spokesman died.
This bout of unfortunate events has had little effect on the restaurant's business, in which people remain drawn to the monstrous burgers. The quadruple bypass burger clocks in around 10,000 calories -- Guinness World Records has crowned the burger the most caloric sandwich on Earth.

The female customer, a Las Vegas resident in her 40s, had been devouring a "double bypass burger," puffing on cigarettes, and sipping a margarita when she collapsed Saturday night, the Grill's owner told ABC News.

The Heart Attack Grill has signs that read "This Establishment is Bad for Your Health." "Unlike cigarettes, I have had warnings labels since Day 1 when we opened in 2005 telling people how bad our food is for you," owner Jon Basso tells the Los Angeles Times," I think that skirts any liability we might have."
The woman is currently in recovery.

The woman is recovering from her medical emergency but -- like the man who collapsed at the same Grill in February -- she likely won't be able to sue for her medical bills.

First, it's not yet clear what caused the lady to collapse at the Heart Attack Grill. (That's different from February's collapse, which was determined to be an actual heart attack.)
Next, there's a lack of scientific evidence that eating an artery-clogging hamburger can trigger an imminent heart attack, ABC News reports. But a greasy diet can add to the risk of a heart attack -- along with smoking and other lifestyle factors.

The local Heart Attack Grill outpost watched another customer go down this weekend from health issues that hit in the middle of their meal, necessitating a trip to the hospital. The trauma follows fast on the thick calves of an incident here

Then there's the legal doctrine of assumption of risk -- when someone freely and knowingly accepts the possibility of injury for taking part in an activity.

At the Heart Attack Grill, signs warn customers that "This Establishment is Bad for Your Health." Customers also arguably know what they're biting into when they order a "double bypass burger," which comes with two half-pound burger patties and bacon (with the option of adding even more bacon).

The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, Nevada was the site of an actual heart attack in February, and on Saturday a woman collapsed as the result of the second heart attack at the aptly named restaurant.

The Heart Attack Grill's owner says he hopes the woman who collapsed makes a full recovery. "She was eating, drinking, smoking, laughing, dancing, having fun," he told the Los Angeles Times. "But when you treat your body like that day in and day out, eventually your body is going to give out."
