URGENT RECALL OF FITBALLS USED IN OFFICES Due to a lost time incident that occurred over the last few days where a Fit Ball, used as an office chair burst , it has been decided that all fit balls be recalled pending an incident investigation. We ask that all employees using the fit balls in an office environment for seating please deflate the balls and return them to the Hobart office activity room either in person or by internal mail (located in the garage in the Hobart Office). We ask any supervisor please assist in this exercise by identifying and insisting the action be taken so that all possible hazards be removed. At this stage those balls being used in any of our exercise rooms or gyms can remain where they are and continue to be used as per the instructions by our regional wellbeing representatives and exercise facilitators. Thank you for your assistance in this matter

take head grix, tis a dangerous world down there, what with deadly stingrays and lethal inflatables lurking round every corner

I am quite happy to take 'head'

is a fit ball what one would use to play "fitba"? why would someone want to sit on that? do you have very low desks? can anyone explain this to me? - in particular why are kiwis using the scottish vernacular? ___________________ life is full of wonders....

its actually aussies talking about those big blow up balls that people like mex try to persuade you can replace chairs. I tried to tell them they were a danger to health.

yeah but you cant roll across the living on your stomach then twist off onto the sofa with a chair

how would you roll across the floor on one - surely half a roll or less and you'd hit the deck?

To roll across the floor on a fitball the clown gets naked and smears hi quality lube (available from any good kiddie clown supplies store) all over himself and with a well executed belly flop onto the large ball can create enough forward motion to propel the fitball forward whilst the lube reduces the friction enabling aforesaid clown to remain on top of the rotating ball. The 'next level' of this trick is to replace the fitball with a chronically obese child. Mex is very accomplished when it comes to fitball routines.

Anyway, if saftey in the workplace is thier concern they should not be banning fit balls but the fat bastards heavy enough to busrt one!
