Spooky! Woman breaks her leg at the gym [video]

A scary scene was filmed at a gym in England. The unnamed woman in the video is sitting on a leg-toning device when she performs a wrong maneuver and has a broken leg.

In Leg Press, the person sits pushing the weight up with the legs. It should not, however, fully stretch the lower limbs. When the girl in the video starts doing the series of moves, she hits the first one, but in the second pass she stretches her knee too much, and the weight of the device turns her leg in the opposite direction, screaming in pain. Watch at your own risk - the images are disturbing:

Although it is not clear from the images how severe the lesion was, it may have apparently fractured the tibia or femur and injured the posterior cruciate ligament - the main knee.

"In the second repetition, his leg went to hyperextension, which means the ligaments stretched too much and the knee bent over itself, " physiotherapist Sammy Margo told the Daily Mail. “This video is an extreme example of what can happen during exercise when it is not performed correctly, ” said gym manager Will Longhurst.
