    No, but I broke a chair, so I kind of get the feeling.

    No, but I'm uber clumsy and envision doing that all the time!

    My sister did once, and went feet first through a glass cabinet.
    She was remarkably unhurt, seriously not a scratch.

    NO, but it is on the top of my gym fears list.. Its bound to happen sometime. If it does I am sure I would quit the gym... I see the same people in there every morning and would never be able to face them again.

    No but I saw someone do it. He was flirting with a gal on the one next to him and she was ignoring him. After we knew he was not hurt (other than his pride) we all laughted

    Sort of..... I've dropped things and then stumbled about while I tried to stop the treadmill to retrieve my items....

    Nope, but it's seriously one of my biggest treadmill-related fears, along with the potential of the speed control not working and being caught in an-ever increasing speed/incline situation (which would most likely lead to falling off)...

    My consolation is that I do treadmill workouts at home, so no one would see me, just the bruises I'd be likely to get... LOL! At least I own up to my klutziness and I'd likely laugh at myself telling the story :)

    No, but I did trip over my own feet and land ON a treadmill. Almost as embarassing...I am a total klutz.

    Jane! Stop this crazy thing!!!

    I've never fallen off one but I witnessed someone else's close call and that was enough to get my heart racing. He was running and decided to take his sweatshirt off without slowing down or stopping. It got caught up on his chin and I thought for sure he was going to go *kitten* over teakettle but he managed to keep going! We both chuckled with relief when it was over. Makes my hands sweat just thinking about it...

    Yup. More than once. My treadmill is at home, so no human witnesses. Tip: Get all skin AWAY from the darn belt if it's still moving. Those things can give you one hell of a roadrash type spot in seconds.

    No, but I saw a woman do it at my previous gym. She turned the speed up too high and her hands slipped on the bars and she was thrown into the wall at the back of the treadmill and made a hole in it. She never came back to the gym. Embarrassing moments are parts of life so do not feel bad.

    I jog on the treadmill for about 5 minutes to warm up before lifting...I was paying too much attention to the t.v. a few weeks ago and my foot caught on the side of the dreadmill and I took a good tumble. Fortunately I was the only person in the gym.

    This has always been one of my fears in a funny way. Am sure it will never happen, but not intending to ive it the chance. I can see how treadmills are ood when the weather is bad, but imo running and walking out in the fresh air makes more sense as you actually go somewhere.
