Almost hurt myself badly today by accident

Hey all, I just wanted to share a quick story with a word of warning included about something that happened to me today. I have a sedentary desk job and have been trying to sneak in little exercises every hour. This afternoon I stood up and braced my hands against the front edge of my desk prepared to do some inclined push-ups. I'd done one and was on the way down for a second when suddenly the plastic chair mat I was standing on shot backwards and out from under my desk. I came within an inch or two of slamming my throat onto the edge of my desk! I had thought the mat was pinned underneath the legs of my desk. Needless to say I promptly got rid of the chair mat. Please be careful if you are exercising in your office. I'd hate to have someone else make the same mistake I did.
