The popular exercise equipment causes about 24,000 injuries a year, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and over a decade, 30 deaths were reported. If you follow some basic safety advice, your workout experience will be better. Here are some top tips: 1. Always use the safety key. ALWAYS.
