Spinning-induced rhabdomyolysis (SIR) is a well documented cause of exertional rhabdomyolysis. We aim to raise awareness and to call for preventive action towards avoidable healthcare costs associated with SIR. To this end, we describe three cases of SIR, associated healthcare costs and possible preventive strategies. We propose that community-based preventive measures should be considered in addressing the economic consequences of SIR.
