Footage captured an “embarrassing” moment when an Ohio gym bunny was trapped upside down on exercise equipment and had to be rescued by police. It has been played a million times.

In one of the humiliating clips, Foles can be seen writhing helplessly after finding himself trapped. At one point, Jim’s shark approaches his leg clamp and tries to undo it like Houdini, but to no avail.
Faulds’ predicament was particularly dire. There were only a few other people in the gym all night and they were in another room with music playing. At that time, users scanned their keycards to enter, so the staff was also absent, the reverse influencer explained.
Thankfully, the endangered Ohioan was able to dial 911 using his smartwatch.
“There’s only one person in the gym and I’m stuck. You know, the backboard,” Foles can be heard hanging at her feet. “I’m stuck with this reverse, reverse decompression kind of thing.
“I think things went too far and they ended up upside down and didn’t turn right back,” she continued to tell the dispatcher. I’m sorry, I’m just stuck.”
Shortly thereafter, police arrived on the scene and released her from a spine-decompressing prison, as shown in the fourth clip, which has 7.2 million views. In total, Foles was trapped upside down for her 12 minutes.

“It’s just embarrassing to have to call so many times,” mused another, adding one viewer: [the police] I was talking about you in the car. “
One TikTok commenter suggested Apple Watch use her story in a commercial.
Looking back, Foles said he learned to see the funny side of his situation.
“People are saying, ‘Why are you posting that?’ It’s so embarrassing, but sometimes I feel like I need to laugh at myself and move on,” said the humiliating fitfluencer on Complex. told .com.
While it’s certainly a comical situation, being trapped upside down isn’t as humorous as it sounds.
According to Healthline, “Hanging upside down for too long can kill you.” “Although rare, blood pools in the head and is very dangerous for the body.”
