Total Gym
Total gym faulty pin caused bench to crash down and suffered fractured L1, L2 vertebrae

I was attempting to use the total gym to begin my "at home rehabilitation exercises" ordered by my primary physician. These exercises were following a 12 week recovery from cervical spine surgery in my neck.

I sat on the bench to begin a light chest workout when the bench came crashing down to the floor fracturing my L1 and L2 vertabrae. I now have excruciating pain in my lumbar region plus new radiating pain from the surgery area in my neck.

Do not purchase this machine. It is not safe!
