According to Rugg’s post, police reported that there was only a 2-foot gap between the treadmill and the open window, which was just a foot high. The woman attempted to grab the edge of the window, but it was too late. She was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The video sparked reactions from viewers, with one user questioning, “Why is there an open window behind a treadmill?” Another commented, “OMG. That is horrific. Why would treadmills be placed in that position? Should have been turned in the opposite direction.”

Another user expressed, “The club needs to quickly fix this from possibly happening again. Prayers for the woman and her family.”
