No, but I broke a chair, so I kind of get the feeling.0

Try falling off while walking0

No, but I'm uber clumsy and envision doing that all the time!0

My sister did once, and went feet first through a glass cabinet.
She was remarkably unhurt, seriously not a scratch.0 -
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.0

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 laughted0

Sort of..... I've dropped things and then stumbled about while I tried to stop the treadmill to retrieve my items....0

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.0

No, but I'm sure it'll happen one day!0

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...0 -

They were never able to prove it :laugh:0

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.0

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.0

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.0

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.0
-
Not yet!0
-
Hahaha, I can admit that i dropped my water bottle, and stopped to pick it up...hello wall behind me..0
-
When I was younger, I put the speed as fast as it would go and I tried to jump on. It didn't go good. All the skin on the front side of my body was taken off.0

When we owned a treadmill, and I first started using it, I fell off. No one was home, so it didn't make a sound until today...0 -
I did once. I was paying too much attention to the TV on the wall in front of me.0
-
Yep. We have one at home, and I've fallen off at least twice. I'm not very coordinated, and since I've been using it consistently for the past three years (although we've had it for longer), I think that's pretty good! 0

...I thought for sure he was going to go *kitten* over teakettle...
LOL! I've never heard that one before. Is that a regional expression in your area?0 -
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 laughted0

Hahahahaha That's so funny. I never have, I just look really stupid on the treadmill cause I hold on to the bars really tight the whole time because I am a klutz and can so see that happening to me.:laugh:0

I did in high school; it hurt.

Yes! I was using our gym at work and it was like 6pm. I was the only one there and had got up to a really decent run and was feeling great. Then, the power on the treadmill just went out and I went flying. Good thing I didn't hurt myself too bad or I'd probably have lain in there all night waiting for help.
Now I only use the elliptical at the work gym. lol0
