"I'm just going to post it and make everything public, and I just wanted to make the world laugh."

She wanted to make people laugh, but also had a rebuttal for those who would comment on her, well, butt.

"Everyone has a butt, and if people have something bad to say about my butt, bite my butt."

Konkel shared her favorite joke that people have been using about the incident.

People admired her sense of humor.



Some said they would not go back to the gym, were this them.

Several folks talked about the safety features of treadmills.


But one person summed up the good side of this event.

No word on whether or not she'll use that treadmill ever again.
