๐ฒ Treadmill Tragedy: Supermom of Four’s Unfortunate Accident in a Gym! ๐
TL;DR: Delrie Rosario, a mother of four, faced a tragic accident at an LA Fitness gym in Kent, Washington. After falling on a treadmill and hitting her head, she unfortunately didn’t make it. Her big heart, however, managed to save five lives as an organ donor. ๐คโจ
In a gym where the hum of treadmills and the clinking of weights fill the air, an unexpected silence prevailed for a brief moment. Delrie Rosario, a 36-year-old mom of four, was just there to break a sweat with her sister Marissa Woods, like she did almost every day. But a sudden tumble turned this regular day into an unforgettable tragedy.
“Why did the machine not have her back when she tried to slow it down? ๐ค Did she miss a step, or did the treadmill give up on her?” remarked a visibly shaken Woods, who witnessed her sister’s tragic fall. “I screamed for help, shouted for anyone who knew CPR! But where was everyone when you truly needed them?”
While fellow gym-goers dropped their weights and rushed to help, Woods felt a void in the gym’s staff response. ๐ง “It’s like they froze, almost in shock,” she added.
LA Fitness, when approached for a statement, chose the silent route and declined to comment. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
As heartbreaking as it is, Rosario didn’t wake up from her fall. But her legacy did. ๐ชโค๏ธ She became a beacon of hope as her organs paved the way to save five lives. “Can you even fathom the size of her heart? There are people out there now, probably skipping or dancing, with her heart in them,” Woods mused.
Working two jobs and being a pillar for her children: Delaino, Rickey, RicโKae, and Delaiah, Rosario was a force to be reckoned with. The phrase “momma bear” seems just right for this supermom, considering her Facebook bio! ๐ปโค๏ธ
With her passing, coworkers initiated a GoFundMe campaign to support her children, dubbing Rosario “an Angel walking amongst us here on earth.” ๐๏ธ
And though her loss feels surreal, treadmill-related accidents aren’t unheard of. Did you know that in 2020, treadmills were responsible for nearly 16,000 ER visits? ๐ Talk about a walk to remember! Not to be too punny, but seriously, be cautious.
Expert trainer Harley Pasternak chimed in with some golden advice, “Next time you hit the gym, ensure you’re not alone, or at least let someone know where you are. Mishaps aren’t just treadmill-exclusive.” Sage words, Harley. ๐
