The GIF below of a workout warmup gone terribly wrong apparently occurred at a Crossfit class, according to sleuths on reddit. While we can’t independently confirm exactly where the disaster took place, we can confirm that it’s hilarious.
The exercise starts off simply and successfully enough. An instructor, with the help of a colleague, gets the large mat spinning as members of the class jump over it. But soon things get out of hand.
As the trainer spins the mat faster and faster, things go haywire. First four or five people go down, but none seem to be hurt or anything. But then the mat makes another rotation, brutally clocking one woman directly in her neck and head.
We have no info on her current condition, but it seems likely she escaped with only a bruised ego.
