At least he wasn’t standing on it. Dumbell bench on a ball seems pretty safe to me, but maybe not.

I believe most physio balls have a warning about weight training as they are not capable of taking the extra load. I know that Joe Defranco uses “unpopable” balls at his facility.

Pretty stupid way to injure a million dollar commodity

Some poor company’s getting sued fo sho

Even the unpopable ones break! Sure they are good when new, but roll em around on the floor, scraping against stuff etc, they dont last forever. And who checks to make sure they are still good? Nearly nobody, they wait till one day the ball is flat, then try to pump it up, “oh a hole”

Stupid balls, Keep em in physio dept’s and out of gyms/health clubs/ PT studio’s.

oh yeah, i got a Letter just the other day, wanting to know if i want to run OUTDOOR bootcamps using these very Balls! OMG…
