What happens in the video below is probably every gym-goer's worst nightmare.
Whether you're Eddie Hall, who breaks weightlifting records, or an average joe trying to get in shape, you don't want to be that person who falls on a treadmill during a workout. It isn't just painful, it's also incredibly embarrassing.
So imagine how bad it would be if you fell and it was all caught on camera? Well, that's unfortunately what happened for one gym-goer in 2012.
During an interview with a fitness trainer in 2012 for New Zealand's Moon TV, he was caught in the background face planting on a treadmill. Ouch!
What's even worse? No one seemed to care too much.
While some believe the moment was scripted, it's certainly possible that the poor man stumbled. Perhaps he didn't know the treadmill was on, or he thought he could run at that intense speed. Whatever the case, the moment is what you'd call an epic gym fail.
But, in the man's defense, getting injured from exercise equipment isn't as unusual as some might think. The year the interview was filmed, for example, about 460,000 people were hospitalized because of equipment injuries, according U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
