Today, I got on a treadmill for the first time. I was running at a very high speed. I needed a break but didn't know how to get off. I decided to just let the machine take me to the edge so I could get off. I was thrown off the treadmill and landed with my happy sacks crashing into a dumbbell. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. As I was on the treadmill, I accidentally hit the emergency stop button. In my attempt to play it cool, I tried to pretend it was intentional and yelled, "I've reached my fitness goal for the day!" FML
Today, after the longest time, I went to the gym. I ran and ran and ran on the treadmill for an eternity, beating myself up for getting so overweight. Then I tripped and fell off, sweating and sobbing for being so useless. When I looked up, I saw I'd been on the machine for barely 2 minutes. FML
Today, I was doing my usual routine at the gym which consists of working out on the treadmills right in front of my ex boyfriend to make him feel bad. Whilst doing this, I tried to be cool and do that thing where as the treadmill slows down you turn around and just walk off the end. I fell. FML
Today, while on the treadmill, my iPod fell and shot out underneath my feet. I got off to get it, and when I tried to get back on, I slipped and fell on my face on the moving track. The whole gym watched me get beat up by a treadmill and clapped when I finally got back on. FML
Today, I was running at the gym, feeling like a fitness influencer. I increased the treadmill speed to “sprint” mode. My shoelace got caught in the belt, and I was launched backward into a rack of yoga mats, knocking them over like bowling pins. FML
Today, I was running on the treadmill at my local gym when I saw a girl I like a lot. I called out to her to say hi. As she was coming over, I accidentally stepped on the belt with one foot, crashed down on the treadmill, and continued to slide down in front of her, emerging with a gashed knee and arm. FML
Today, I joined a gym. I’m overweight and not very athletic, so I was nervous. I looked around and tried a treadmill. I start walking at a chill pace, then got ambitious and cranked it to a "light jog." Within seconds, I tripped, fell, and sent the emergency stop button flying across the room. The gym staff ran over and I swear someone said, “Well, at least he’s trying.” FML
Today, I was at the gym when I noticed a girl I like working out on the elliptical. I went to go say hi, but chickened out and went to run on the treadmill in front of her instead. I was so nervous that I tripped and the machine threw me headfirst into her machine. FML
Today, I was at the gym and I tripped on the treadmill. Not only did I fall off the machine, I also managed to knock over two other people's water bottles and send them flying across the room. FML
Today, while running on the treadmill at the gym, the girl next to me slipped and went flying back against the wall. Indecisive whether to get off and help her or to just keep going, I lost my focus and footing and flew back next to her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a moron. It's people like you in the gym who are irritating. Too shy to ask any questions and act like they know what they are doing. Your life is truly F***** , you dont have any common sense.

I'm sorry but the fact that he's from Pakistan and didn't know how to use a treadmill reminded me of this Borat clip from the Ali G show. Skip to 1:30. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvVEog6L7fc

It was completely your fault and could of been avoided all by not using the term "happy sacks" be a mature adult and just use the correct term or something less childish/stupid.

I'm pretty sure that "happy sacks" is just a joke that the FML staff is playing on us. I bet any time an FML is submitted that says "balls", it's automatically changed to "happy sacks." That phrase is used with WAY too much frequency on this site for this to not be some sort of setup. (...it was painful for me to write this. Seeing "happy sacks" over and over make me want to punch people in the face.)

you're an idiot for not checking how the machine worked before actually getting on it

Faaaaaaaaake, how can you not know how to turn it on, or at least jump on the sides of the moving belt so you don't faceplant? Not sure if this is a FML tho

WOW! How can you be SOOO retarded?! On every treadmill I have ever seen there has been a huge red button that says, "STOP". Your decision in this situation would be the LAST thing to cross my mind. YDI big time for being such a dumbass. I would have loved to seen that though.
