treadmill kicked my ass- need sympathy :(

I took a tumble on my treadmill- caught the edge of my MBT shoe, must have been getting tired after nearly an hour, and that lapse of concentration brought me down hard on my shoulder and then scraped me across the treadmill on my ass like a cartoon geek- nothing broken but my shoulder hurts like hell so I am just looking for some sweet stoner sympathy:stoned: I am smoking extra thoroughly tonight
ouch ouch
Has anyone else ever slipped on a treadmill? My ipod went flying; thank god it's in a padded case. Too bad I wasn't

I'll scold the treadmill for you. It shouldn't bother you anymore.

Nope, I'm at home, so fortunately I didn't humiliate myself.
Thanks 40oz for taking care of that big old mean machine!

Yeah actually I myself have taken a spill once or twice before, but nothing that serious. Whenever it's too hot to run outside I run on the 'mill. It usually happens when I'm not paying attention or watching the tv, and I start to veer off to one side and the edge of my shoe catches the railing and it jerks me haha and most likely causes me to go down. Thankfully I'm like a cat and I catch my balance before I get hurt.

Hopefully you're okaaaaay demeter....go get a massage asap! :thumbsup:

Oh man, I had the worst experience falling off a treadmill. I was at my dad's house prolly about 3 years ago, and my brother was on the treadmill. He was about 6 so he didn't really care about exercising, he was just fuckin around. And he kept turning the speed up faster and faster. Then once it was really high (not to my knowledge), he told me to try it. So I stepped on it, not knowing how fast it was going, and it just pulled my feet right out from under me. I was holding onto the handle part with both hands squeezing for my life lol. My legs were like swinging behind me in the air like a freakin cartoon and my knees kept rubbing against the walking part of the treadmill. This was happening for about a good 30 seconds. It was horrible, when I got off my knees were so cut up and had the worst scrapes. It was like rug burn times 100000 and I was bleeding and ugh it was real bad. Haha so don't feel too bad

Thanks sweetie,when the hubby comes home on Sunday I will put him to work!
I space out when I walk...I sing and sometimes close my eyes, so no wonder I took a spill. I'm like a stoned cat :D

Thats why I dont use treadmills. Feel better. Maybe you should take a bubble bath

Sorry about your little spill, Demeter!! So sorry you had to endure that.

Treadmills are killers. They really are. Clearly.

Riding a skateboard on a treadmill is wicked fun

Kick that treadmills ass..

Let this be a lesson to you all! You see what happens, when you foolishly gather up the energy to get off the couch?

Yeah, something similar happened to me once. I was in this small gym at my apartment running on the treadmill, and I dropped my mp3 player. I tried to reach down and catch it but i just ended up tripping and flying back into a wall.

The worst part was that i was stuck in between the wall and the treadmill (with my knees on the moving belt) for about 15 seconds so i got abrasions all across my kneecaps (still have ugly scars lol).

Treadmills are a deathtrap, seriously they are. Stay away.

I have never been on a treadmill..they look too dangerous. LOL..
Sounds like a warm bath and some epsom salt and a fat J wont cure..
Hope your feeling better:)

That sucks, especially mid excercise. I had an elliptical trainer collapse on me once after a half hour or riding it and it scared the shit out of me.

I dont get why people use treadmills, go out running instead! lol

LMAO this thread title Is fuckn halarious.
Yeah I agree kick its ass.

yeah you need to put that damn treadmill back in it's place!

and everyone elses storys are halarious haha!

I too got my ass kicked by a treadmill. Take it from me NEVER EVER TRY AND RUN ON ONE BACKWARDS AT HIGH SPEEDS!

Well I am ready to get back on the horse, I mean the treadmill:thumbsup:
Thanks for all your kind murmurings over my booboo, I'm such a little baby:D
and after hearing other stories about treadmill treachery, I feel lucky not to have been hurt more! Gotta respect the heavy machinery

Hugs to my buddies!

the treatment program i was in would take us to the YMCA and if we had more then 5 people half of us would go up stairs for cardio work out and the other half would go down stairs for half the time we were there... and me and my friend were up stairs on the tread mill and we desided to have a race.... we had both already ran a mile on the damn thing at about a levle setting of 7... and a preaty good incline set on it... well... we went and got off and rode the bikes for a mile or 2... then hes like hey billy lets go race on the treadmills...so we both hop on one... and i turn mine up to 8.0 levle setting... so he ups his to 8.5... so i turn mine on to about 9... and he gose up to 9.1... so i say fuck you and turn mine up to 10... and hes like UMMM UMMM ok... 10.5... and i turn mine to 11.... by now im already sort of running hella fast... so he gose to turn his up to 11.5 or so... and in the prossec he lets go of the handles and trips... he still had one hand on the handle so he didnt go flying into the bike machines behind him... but sort of just got hes nees scraped up... and im laffing so hard, i start to stumble... and i just turn off the maschine as soon as i start triping.... our PE coach banned us from the treadmills after that...

Were you in the gym or at home?
