'TREADMILL FAILS' Published June 4, 2012 By Aletha Werner Via Torch on Facebook -- I found Torch on Facebook and saw the interesting "Treadmill Fails" video clips. Funny clips, but, sadly, people just don't understand how dangerous treadmills can be. One of my daughter's squadron members, a female pilot, was very seriously injured after slipping on a treadmill and hitting her head against a brick wall. She was no longer able to fly. Maybe at some point she will be able to return to it, but the brain injury destroyed all she had worked for up to that point.
