A tragic incident occurred at On Air gym in Paris, where a cryotherapy chamber malfunction led to the death of a 20-something employee due to a suspected nitrogen leak during treatment. A client was also hospitalized after the incident, with three people involved in revival efforts rushed to the hospital. This incident raises critical questions about the safety of cryotherapy, a practice popular among sports and wellness circles, while highlighting historical risks associated with the treatment that lack comprehensive medical validation.
An employee at On Air gym died after suspected nitrogen leak during a cryotherapy session, while another woman was hospitalized. An investigation has begun.
During whole body cryotherapy, the patient is subjected to -148°F temperatures which can have various claimed benefits, but medical proof of those benefits is still lacking.
Experts caution that while cryotherapy is popular among athletes and celebrities, its safety requires more investigation, especially following tragic incidents like the recent death.
In 2015, a similar tragedy occurred in Las Vegas, highlighting potential risks associated with cryotherapy practices that have yet to be sufficiently evaluated.
