AppleInsider staff –

Can we please NOT show that video keyframe image of SOMEONE'S DEAD CHILD? It's in really poor taste. Have a link to the CPSC video without a preview, and include a warning, I beg you.

This particular video shows how a child got caught but the child in this video got out in his own and survived. This particular child didn’t die. It’s actually a really good demonstration of the dangers of this design flaw.

How ridiculous. Almost every single treadmill has that same basic design...kids should not be around any exercise equipment while in use: treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, etc. can all hurt someone quite easily...

Actually, there is one big design flaw that other, mostly cheap, consumer treadmills have as well, which is not having a guard covering the back as the treadmill surface rapidly rolls to the underside. The guard that exists on all commercial treadmills that you find in the gym prevents the things that touch the back of the rapidly moving conveyor from pulling objects down and under the machine. There’s a video of a yoga ball slowly rolling towards the back of the machine while a woman was running on it. As the ball touched the back of the conveyor, it was quickly gripped by the conveyor surface, causing the ball to be pulled underneath. The entire treadmill, in less than a second, lifted with the runner on it. I’m shocked she’s wasn’t severely injured.

Does it charge the AirPods placed on the left segment?

Yes, just like any other Qi wireless charging pad

Sounds ridiculous. Will the gas station come take their gas back? I'm half way into a ham and the butcher wants it back? I'm on the toilet and my paper is gone? What next

LOL! Not even close to the same thing... but sure.

Nitpicking here, but isn’t it 50 times, not 50 “X”

No, it’s not nitpicking. It’s accuracy. “X” is a letter of the alphabet (or ten if you go Roman numerals). When referring to lenses, we are talking about a multiplication factor, which is “times”.

Listening to him say “ex“ throughout the video drove me absolutely batty. It’s just simply sounded so unintelligent. not to mention he talks quickly and doesn’t annunciate which makes it really hard to understand what he was saying at times.

I kind of feel if you were going to review photography, you should understand the terminology and what you’re talking about. Can I assume the 5X optical zoom Image is used to get the 50X digital zoom image? In other words, it really is just a 5X image digitally blown up, hence the added resolution. That’s kind of an important thing to point out.
