Bursting your fitness bubble.


According to ABC, EB Brands has had to recall three million inflatable fitness balls because they explode if overinflated. I guess it's no laughing matter because: 

A total of 47 people have reported that the fitness balls burst since 2000, according to the CPSC. Some people have been injured as a result, including reports of a fracture and multiple bruises.

What am I saying? Of course it's a laughing matter. It's hilarious because, well, think about it, EXPLODING FITNESS BALLS!
