Treadmill Accident

I totally wiped out running on a Treadmill at the Y today!   Very scary and embarrassing.   No one even came over and asked if I was ok.

How did you fall? I use a treadmill and want to learn from your mistake. We need a report and analysis.

Have a little respect, create a separate thread if you want to speculate/discuss exactly what happened! This thread is to share our condolences and pay our respects.....

Hey, enough with the microaggressions. 

I wasn’t there, but my armchair analysis is his shoelace probably come untied and caused him to trip. A good reminder for all of us to check your knots.

Wish I’d been there for ya, man. Always wanted to try out one of those portable defib thing-a-ma-jigs.

^^ Hah!  Great videos.  I wish it had been filmed.   I was watching the World Cup on a TV on the wall.  In fact the fall occurred literally just as Belgium was scoring their winning goal.  A moment of distraction... my left foot glanced the side of the machine... BAM, yard sale

Were you wearing a helmet?

Poor Russ! Here, XXXXXXXXX some kisses for your boo-boos, and OOOOOO some hugs in sympathy. 

Love, Mom

Too many accidents these days. I’m sick of these indoor gym runners ruining it for everyone! There needs to be a treadmill to sidewalk class. Someone needs to teach these indoor runners some ethics. Smh..

Proper way to watch world cup: (Russian ballerinas watching the Russia-Spain game backstage in between performing in Raymonda.)

Treadmills are for winter when you can't get out skiing.  Even then, there's a lot of great outdoor trail running to be had in winter if the trail is in good condition.

Was it a traditional treadmill or sport model?
