I've never done that but it is something that everyone would expect out of me!
Aww!! Sounds like something I'd do, too. Sorry that happened. And i'm so with you on hating the gym! I'd much rather walk around outside... when it's warm.
Awww that sucks!! Not quite the same, but a funny story. Once I was at the gym with my FI. He sat his glasses on the little ledge on the front and we started running. A few minutes into it the glasses fall off, and as if it was slow motion, fell on to the treadmill, FI STEPPED on them, and then they flew off the back of the treadmill. It's funny now but at the time it was bad bc he didn't have a spare set of glasses and they were destroyed. Lol.
Oh my gosh, I've never fallen off a treadmill, but the gym and I are also very incompatible! Hope you and iPod are ok!
hahaha Im sorry, but I would pay to see that happen in real life!
Hope your night gets better!
This made me giggle.
I could actually picture myself doing this well. Because, yesterday I was filling our santa and mrs clause salt and pepper shaker...and I made this little funnel to put the salt in so I didn't spill but I couldn't figure out why I was getting salt all over the table. Than I moved the shaker away from the table (over my lap) and proceed to try and figure out why there were salt everywhere..my fi as he died laughing reminded me, that there were holes on the bottom! Whoops.
It's good that you are okay and that you can laugh at yourself..because that's the best medicine.
I haven't fallen off a treadmill before, but I have launched my iPod off of a treadmill before. I hope you are okay!!
that stinks!
I've never fallen off, but am always scared I will!
Haha I'm ok, the iPod is ok, no lasting harm done. I saw one of my HS classmates like 5 min later, so I'm just glad she didn't see me bite it! Our 5 year reunion is this month ::shudder::
The worst part is I was only there like 2 minutes before falling... if it had been at the end of my workout, it might have been more acceptable if I stormed out of the gym after making an ass out of myself. No such luck!
That's what I get for running-- I should just leave it to the experts!
I knew you ladies would commiserate ;)
Once, in the time of dinosaurs, my CD player did the same thing! The weight room was closed that day, too, so there were all these big, hulky men all around me...ack, so embarrassing!
And about 6 months ago, I was off in la-la land while doing this thigh/step weight machine in the weight room that you can adjust to go to whatever height. Wasn't paying attention, and I slipped off of it and fell on the ground! The worst part was that my shin was bruised worse than all get-out! It was literally like a 6 or 7 inch bruise and it was bloody and looked like a golfball for weeks. :( wahh...lol
I live in fear of throwing myself off the treadmill. About a year ago, my fiance was on the treadmill and I was on the elliptical next to him. Some woman stretching on the mats behind us lost control of her exercise ball, and it rolled forward. The track on my fiance's treadmill caught the ball and drew it up and underneath, forcing the back part of the treadmill upward and almost causing my fiance to break his nose as he fell forward. This incident did nothing to help me conquer my fear.
MissLeah - I'm glad you're okay - those machines are dangerous! :)
OH NO!!! Yes, it is kinda funny in hindsight i bet =]
I've almost launched myself a few times. I've lost balance on an elliptical before and gone "oh shit!" with headphones on, then realized people could actually hear me...
@ejs4y8 - I've done the exact same thing on the elliptical! It's like I enter my own little headphone-wearing world, and then suddenly realize "Oh, there are other people here!"
Bummer! I am terrified of treadmills for that very reason. I am not the most coordinated person (my grandma used to say I was as graceful as a donkey in roller skates).
I took a very embarassing fall off the side of the elliptical machine while trying to scratch my leg. I smacked my face on the arm of the machine and got a fat lip! Doh!
I biffed it the very first time I got on a treadmill. Not pretty!
I've never fallen off, but last week I was running and reached for my water (regular top, not sports bottle). I went to take a sip, tripped up, and spilled it all over myself and the treadmill. I. was. so. freakin. embarassed. And I had to walk back home like that too. Blah.
That reminded me of something my hubby did. He was running on the treadmill in our basement and triend to take off his shirt while still running. He fell and put his foot through the wall behind the treadmill. Once I found out he was ok, I was LMAO and had to tell all his friends :)
I fell off a treadmill playing around with a neighbor's home machine when I was little. To this day I fear that every time I step on one its going to launch me off and into a wall! I also worry about stopping suddenly. Crazy machines those!
glad to hear you and the ipod survived your encounter okay!
aww! I've launched my iPhone off the treadmill 2x-- caught my earphone cord with my hand. Good thing i have a rubber cover, otherwise it would have been very bad!

I was in a pissy mood once I got home from work today (it's usually the opposite), and I decided I had to go to the gym to get out all the negative energy. I get on the treadmill, put on some Weezer (was invited to the concert tonight, but couldn't swing the money for the ticket, and poor Rivers was in a car accident and the show was canceled!), and started a nice, brisk walk.
About 2 minutes later, my hand caught my headphone wire, ripped the phones out of my iPod, launched the iPod onto the treadmill, and got shot off the back. Not thinking, I stooped down to pick it up and the treadmill kept going, also launching me off it.
I didn't get hurt, but I'm fairly certain I scared the wits out of the people around me when I swore quite loudly (the mother of them all, of course), and damaged my pride to levels I can't yet comprehend. I'm already starting to look back on it and laugh, so I thought I'd share with the hive.
Anyone else ever fall off the treadmill?
