A tragic accident occurred at a gym in Indonesia, where a woman fell out of a window while using a treadmill.
According to local media such as Kompas.com, on the 18th (local time), a woman on a treadmill at a gym on the third floor in Indonesia fell out of a window.
The woman was transported to a hospital but ultimately obtained severe head injuries.
Her boyfriend, who was working out with her, recalled the incident, saying, "My girlfriend was running on the treadmill and then slowed down to a walk while wiping her sweat, and she fell backward."
Meanwhile, the cause of the accident is being attributed to the 'improper placement of the treadmill.'
The treadmill was installed with its back to a large window, and the distance between the window and the treadmill was only 60 cm. The distance between the floor and the bottom of the window was also very short, at just 30 cm.
Furthermore, the window was open at the time of the accident. The gym owner explained, "The window was opened to clean the exterior glass, but the personal trainer, who is an employee, forgot to close it afterward."

-I saw this on the news and wondered why they set it up like that. I think it's on the second floor, and the front part is open, allowing you to see people working out on the first floor. The gym design is flawed.
