a couple of questions:

1) who are you in this situation?
2) "treadmill restarted on its own prior to him hitting restart button" - proof? witnesses?

my initial thoughts: health clubs have these waivers exactly for this reason, people can claim this happens, but you work out at your own risk. without proof that it "restarted on its own"? well, there's no proof that anything happened.

If you want to bring a lawsuit that has even an iota of a chance for success, you'll likely need an enigneer to examine the treadmill at issue to confirm whether it did (or even could) "restart" itself. Absent that, no lawyer would touch it.
