If you ever needed a reminder that treadmills are evil – this might be it.
Someone in the wonderful world of the internet, took the time to put this compilation of treadmill fails together and, well, we couldn’t help but giggle.
No wonder those machines have so many emergency stop buttons…
And while we’re on the subject of treadmills – let’s go from those who can’t to those who can.
We hate to think just how many takes this video required…
How’s your treadmill technique? Have you ever fallen like our friends in the first video? Or are you more likely to be seen mastering the choreographed dance routine in the second?

I can’t seem to ever see the videos on my iPhone – there is always a line across the triangle and it is greyed out…

I ended up wearing milk after our 8 year old sprayed it over us while watching the first video. The full version of the cat video is on you tube. It’s hilarious, they don’t get hurt either. I just hope the people on on the treadmills on a bike or ball didn’t wonder why they’d fallen.

you can get a nasty burn from a treadmill if it spits you off and you get stuck against the wall with exposed skin on the running board…, and no one hears you screeching except the dog who comes and barks at you and doesn’t know enough to pull the emergency “stop” cord… and you have to extricate yourself
and you’re laughing so hard that you have trouble co-ordinating your limbs..
*ahem* not that I know from experience or anything……

Very funny YouTube clip.
Just take a moment to be aware that many people die every year due to treadmill injuries.
In 2009 Mike Tyson lost his daughter Exodus due to a treadmill tradjedy.

she got her neck caught in the powercord, not from falling of…most parents child proof thier homes to avoid this happening, clearly he did not.

My sound on my computer isn’t working so watching the second video is really amusing without music!!

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever actually used a treadmill, but after seeing that first video I’m not about to start…

Morning Anonymous. I don’t want you to miss the hilarity of the second video! Everything seems to be working at our end and I’ve tested it out on a few computers and it all seems swell. Do you want to try a sneaky refresh or clear your cache? Let us know if there are still issues! Jamila

I’m also on my phone and when I went to view the second one, it came up wit msg saying my video player was too small? So I clicked the view on YouTube option and watched it fine from there. Hope that helps !
