An analysis of federal statistics demonstrates that TREADMILLS are the cause of more than 1/3 of injuries that send people who exercise to the hospital!
Overall, about 50,000 people a year end up in emergency rooms due to a mishap with exercise equipment, the commission estimates.
The Commission collected information from 100 hospitals in the country. Treadmill injuries were number one by far, followed by jumping rope, free weights being dropped on fingers and toes.
Although not an exercise, previous studies found that slips and falls because of wet floors in the locker room were also high on the list of injuries occurring in Gyms.
