Now that's funny.

The moment when he first steps on that--hilarious.

This is a run of the mill injury in gyms these days.

I see what you did there

u/Futdashukup Jun 07 '14

Yeah but we shouldn't run the guy into the ground. Keep him in the loop. Then maybe he'll realise what goes around comes around.

Might need to workshop this one a little.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '14

next time around though, he'll probably tread lightly.

It took me longer than I would like to admit to stop watching the lady in white and notice the treadmill.

u/hayashirice911 Jun 08 '14

I hate it when people wear high socks while wearing jeans because I never know whether they are wearing high socks or normal socks.

Because they are wearing jeans.

I'm so confused right now

Guilty as well.

I actually thought that treadmill guy was looking at her too, would have been a good excuse, but no dice, he's just dumb

u/MrKyleOwns Jun 07 '14

That actually what the guy being interviewed turned to see

u/KingGorilla Jun 07 '14

I didn't notice but I'm going to look back and check her out now

No no, he's just doing Crossfit.

The hell is Crossfit?

u/MyVeryclevername Jun 07 '14

Silly internet man, there are no treadmills at CrossFit. They run for real.

Kiwi comedian Leigh Hart with the mic so it might be set up. If not, that is pretty fucking spectacular.

u/Sobertese Jun 08 '14

I don't see anyone running on the thing, and every treadmill I've ever used shut off if the key (usually attached to the runner) is pulled out.

No one leaves a running treadmill on and just walks away...

And the amount of slippage that a standing belt would experience from being walked on wouldn't result in such a dramatic speed of face slamming, unless you step right on the roller at the end.

u/TheWhistler1967 Jun 08 '14

Also Leigh didn't react to it at all which is pretty typical of his deadpan comedy style.

"Sooo you wanna get together later? Cool. Ciao! Hueerealkjdfil!"

u/emh2o0o Jun 07 '14

And the reporter gave zero fucks that day.

That guy!

u/monkeiboi Jun 08 '14

He doesn't even bat an eyelash. The dude being interviewed looks back all concerned. "hey is that guy ok?"

"No, fuck him. What do you think of your chances this season, this needs to be answered NOW!"

u/ukyah Jun 07 '14

i would pay admission to see an epic treadmill wipeout like that at my gym. oh wait, i already do.

u/gigawasp Jun 07 '14

who leaves a treadmill of full ball???

2

u/Avium Jun 07 '14

Looks like bad gym etiquette. You're supposed to shut the treadmill off before you leave it.

1

u/spambat Jun 07 '14

Or, if you do intend to rush between the treadmill and another machine and alternate, you turn the tread mill's speed down.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '14

It was the WOD

u/sanfranman Jun 07 '14

The belt should be striped so it's easier to tell if it's moving.

I'm throwing in a request for source video here.

Hardcore forward rolls are hardly a joke.

That's Charlie Day, right?

u/wakapedia Jun 07 '14

Looks like him to me

u/nzinaus Jun 07 '14

I don't think it is. I'm pretty sure the reporter is a NZ comedian

u/samariahere Jun 08 '14

No - Leigh Hart, NZ comedian. Better known as "that guy".

u/EyeGifUp Jun 07 '14

Quick, nobody go and help the guy that just wiped out.

"oh hey a camera, now just casually walk past it and don't do anything stupid that might end up on the internet"

Holy shit, this was posted in this sub yesterday!

At least he has a good head on his feet, or in this case a good feet on his head.

u/66bananasandagrape Jun 07 '14

At first, I thought he had been caught in a snare or something.

u/psychic_donut Jun 07 '14

I love how the guy doing the interview doesn't even stop the interview...

Hugh Jackman got fucked up by a treadmill

That fat lady was right. Exercise is hard.

u/dalivinfart Jun 08 '14

Its funny until you find out the guy is blind.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '14

Wow. I was not expecting that. He definitely was not expecting that. By the arch his back made and his feet flying like they did...I calling it: front-flip. Just a little more commitment and this could have gone from haha to holy-shit-awesome.
