  1. Hospital admission

    Made Jan 18, 2018, sent to the company Jan 29, 2018, published by CPSC Feb 12, 2018

    The product, in the report: Elliptical trainer that rides outdoors like a bicycle but the rider stands on two platforms and propels the machine with an elliptical motion.

    I was riding a product brand-named “ElliptiGo” which is an exercise machine that rides outdoors like a bicycle, but the rider stands on two pedals and makes a motion similar to an elliptical trainer to propel the machine. The rider holds bicycle-like handlebars that are attached to a long vertical metal pole, which in turn is attached to the platform on which the rider stands. I was badly injured when that metal pole separated from the base platform resulting in the handlebars being essentially unattached to the machine.

    I was traveling on a straight and level, paved, clean, wide bicycle path on a dry temperate day, so there were no such contributing factors to my fall. I was traveling on the Elliptigo one moment, and the next thing I knew I was crumpled up around the Elliptigo on the ground with a broken wrist, bad concussion and a severe laceration from a blow to my face. The handlebar pole I’ve described was separated from the rest of the machine and the handlebars were turned around from the impact.

    I had always had my machine professionally serviced by a local bike shop that is also an ElliptiGo dealer. My machine had actually been the subject of an earlier recall. I had brought my machine to this bicycle shop to make the repair necessary to comply with the recall, and the repair was made at that time. I have always had them perform service on my machine. I was also very aware of the operating requirements for the machine, and had checked the machine before riding to make sure everything was properly adjusted and secured, including the latch which secures the handle bar pole.
