The latest emergency, improper fitness kills.
On May 15, 2024, an incident occurred in Chengxi Town, Dianjiang County, Chongqing, where he died accidentally due to improper use of fitness equipment.
A man in his 50s was using a "cervical traction device" to work out, after hanging his neck on a rope, he rotated back and forth, and due to excessive force, an accident occurred, and finally died of hanging.
Onlookers talked a lot, saying that it was too scary, he learned on the Internet, hanging his neck on the fitness equipment and spinning non-stop to achieve the purpose of treating the cervical spine.
Sports coaches failed to dissuade in time
Mr. He, a sports coach in the community, recently went out every morning and saw this eldest brother exercising, but because he was too far away from the school and too busy with work, he could only rush by, and before he had time to discuss it, this kind of accident occurred.
He said: "I was very sad to see the news today, and if I had come forward to tell him some precautions, it would not have had such an outcome." I also tried, no, I couldn't hold my breath, I almost hung up, I struggled for more than ten seconds, but fortunately I was strong. Don't learn it, it's too dangerous! ”。
He also mentioned: "I studied physical education, and I taught physical education to students. The hanging neck fitness, it is conceivable that the force of the whole body is concentrated on the human neck, and the violent swing and rotation will definitely damage the muscles, tissues, ligaments, etc. around the cervical spine, and in serious cases, it may even cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, dizziness and brain swelling, and it will cause paralysis if it is not done well. ”
When you reach a certain age, you will inevitably cause damage to the cervical spine, numbness and weakness of the upper limbs, headache and dizziness for a long time every day. It is still unknown whether the uncle in the picture above can treat these stubborn diseases with the "cervical traction device"? It's just some people's wishful thinking, in fact, now medical skills are helpless!
Fitness accidents are frequent, and it is worth reflecting on and learning lessons
Every year, there are endless incidents of fitness injuries and deaths. On July 3, 2023, Hou, a man from Zhenping County, Nanyang City, Henan Province, went to the gym to exercise and challenge the 120-kilogram barbell bench press. However, after the man took off the barbell, he was unable to support it, and the barbell was pressed to the back of his neck for a few minutes, and he could not save himself and no longer move, and was finally killed by the barbell pressure on his neck.
In early May 2024, a woman in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, posted a video on social platforms, saying that her younger brother drowned in full view of everyone while training in a fitness swimming pool. It is said that the man had just completed a medical examination and worked as a swimming instructor in the swimming pool, but he failed to make a correct judgment on the danger of his behavior and eventually drowned.

Especially when exercising, what kind of fitness equipment to use, we must choose carefully, do what we can, do not be superstitious and blindly follow, let alone imitate others, prescribe the right medicine, and exercise reasonably and scientifically under the guidance of professional doctors.
