Bowflex machines recalled after injuries

Another reason to stick with free weights?

Yeah I heard that news this morning. They say the board on the bench can collapse when in the incline position and the overheard brace that the lat attachment hooks up to can come crashing down on your head after a few uses.
At least 70 people have been injured.
Some crazy shit.

I got a notice last week or the week before about it. I got rid of the damned thing a long time ago, and I have no contact whatsoever with the one who purchased it. Oh well.
