Athletes used to sit on the sidelines with oxygen masks too, till they realized it has zero benefit to someone not suffering from a heart attack. So, wouldn't be surprised if this fad goes away after some experimentation.
Cryotherapy is essentially ice cold showers and ice baths. The latter have been proven to actually raise the immune system and various other bodily functions. Cryotherapy just does it faster. Burning 500 calories after having gotten a 3 minute deep cold exposure is no little feat.
But of course the technology is a bit more risky than an ice bath, since doing it for 4-5 minutes can already be dangerous.
She was a 24 year old Millennial with plenty of moxy. Men going after their phones woiuld likely pass out at much lower probability. But I have seen plenty of young strapping men pass out just standing as honor guards in the military, so they are not immune.
She was careless neglecting the very real danger she found herself. As others stated here before - when you lift a monstrous weight, you are extra careful unless you want to incur a serious injury. In this case passing out is a potential risk, so one must be extra careful. She may have forgotten to never breathe in when looking for her phone at the bottom. Accidents do happen and usually 24 year olds are not the most careful folk you can find.
