According to reports, the woman who had to make the “embarrassing call” was identified as Christine Faulds, an ex-college athlete who was using a back decompression machine in the wee hours when the device malfunctioned and she found herself hanging upside down.

While there was another person in the gym, that person was in another room lifting weights, and could not hear Christine’s scream for helps. Fortunately, she was wearing a smartwatch, using which she called 911 and received due help.

The incident was brought to fore thanks to a TikTok video going viral. In the video, Christine can be seen making efforts to lift her lower body. However, to her horror, she soon realizes she is stuck. She calls 911 and gives an explanation in a sheepish tone.

“I’m stuck in this reverse, like, back decompression thing and I think the thing went too far and I’m just stuck upside down and I cannot get myself right side up,” she can be heard saying.

Thankfully, an officer soon came and freed Christine from the machine. Christine even called this “the easiest rescue ever”.
