Tricky Treadmills - By Maia Clements

Treadmills are dangerous exercise equipment and require caution when using them. They are especially dangerous to those who don’t have much experience. On the 1st of October, at 12:45pm, an 8th grader student named Vidhi Shah had a surprising accident whilst using a treadmill in the main exercise gym of a school named UWCSEA East. The accident was sudden and unexpected. The student was projected backwards by the rapid motion of the treadmill. A short moment after the student made contact with the floor, a small crowd of curious and concerned classmates surrounded the area. Vidhi’s exercise partner and friend, Maia Clements, was about to summon the PE teacher when suddenly, their friend was back on her feet.
Interestingly, Vidhi didn’t seem too badly harmed and calmly told the bystanders she was fine. She added that she would avoid using the treadmill until she knew properly how to use it.
