Overview
- Windey, a former Bachelorette and TV contestant, disclosed that she suffered a spinal injury while using a vibrating workout plate at a high setting and described a piece of vertebra breaking off.
- She detailed the accident in a Substack essay and posted hospital photos on Instagram that include a gown selfie and an X‑ray of her spine.
- Windey says she continues to experience debilitating pain and chronic paresthesia, symptoms she says interfere with daily activity and her ability to work.
- Current coverage relies on Windey’s first‑person account and images; reporters note there is no independent medical confirmation or public response from the device maker so far.
- Vibration plates are marketed for circulation, strength and bone benefits, but Windey’s case has prompted public warnings and fresh scrutiny of the devices’ safety when used at high speeds.
