It’s a way to get ripped off at the gym! Woman finds herself half-naked when her leggings are taken off after tripping on the treadmill
- Alyssa Konkel was training when she tripped over a shoelace while running
- She laughed at the experience of having her leggings ripped off in the viral video
This is the unfortunate moment a woman’s leggings got “sucked up” after she tripped over her shoelace on a gym treadmill.
Alyssa Konkel of Illinois was training May 24 when she decided to go for a run in standard gear.
Viral footage shared online shows the 26-year-old – wearing a pink top and black trousers – suddenly stumbles onto the track and tries desperately to hold onto the handholds.
As the machine continued to roll, she grabbed her leggings, bringing them down to her ankles and exposing her behind before sending Alyssa spinning onto her back.
Alyssa said: “I felt so embarrassed. I had to leave immediately. I was just running at the gym and my pants got sucked!
Alyssa showed the extent of her injuries after the fall, with damage to her face and knees

Alyssa said: “The treadmill was on 10 so it was going pretty fast.
“It wasn’t until I watched the video that I saw my shoelace was untied and I tripped and fell.
‘I jumped up, like a boss, immediately to pull my pants up because my butt was showing and that’s when I let go.
“I injured my face, lip, knees and shins are scraped.
“Luckily the gym wasn’t too busy, but the lady who ran back came back to me and asked if I was okay.”
Alyssa shared the video on her social media.
The full video shows her running quickly on the treadmill for several seconds.
She seems to stumble and lose her balance for a split second.
Despite her best efforts to stabilize herself, her arms outstretched, she struggles to stand straight and reaches out to grab the handles of the machine.
Alyssa’s lower legs make contact with the end of the machine, which she is unable to stop for the moment.
Her gym clothes are suddenly pulled down by the rollers of the machine, leaving her helpless to do anything as her arms desperately cling to the handles.
Eventually, she lets go and appears to land face-first on the moving treadmill with her arms at her sides.
Alyssa, defeated, is thrown by the machine and collects herself on the ground.
She said: “It also happened when I was 10 and scratched my chin, so now I’m really scared of treadmills.”
