A tragic incident at a Paris gym involved the suffocation of a 29-year-old woman during a cryotherapy session, attributed to a nitrogen leak from a recently repaired cold chamber. A second participant, aged 34, is in critical condition. Emergency services evacuated the gym, and investigators are examining the incident's causes, including autopsy and toxicology analyses. Despite its popularity among athletes for recovery and pain relief, the incident underscores critical safety considerations in cryotherapy practices and equipment maintenance.
Cryotherapy has gained popularity among athletes for its benefits, yet the tragic incidents in Paris raise urgent concerns about safety standards in the procedures employed.
Investigators are particularly focused on the nitrogen gas leak from the cold chamber, which police report was repaired earlier the same day the incident occurred.
