Are you one of the 20,000 people who fall off one of these machines every year?

Going for a quick run on the treadmill is often the easiest way to get a cardio workout in. It's like walking, but much cooler. 

And with the machine's endless options for speed and intensity, as well as the added benefit of being able to listen to music or even catch up on the news while running, why wouldn't you choose a treadmill as your one efficient piece of exercise equipment?

Unfortunately, the relative ease and fun of exercising on a treadmill do not eliminate the risks. Any strenuous physical activity requires you to take precautions, after all.

So when you step on the treadmill, please don't do anything that could land you in one of these videos.

Please be advised that the following videos include foul language.

So, would your behaviour at the gym make you part of the statistics?
