    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...
    It could be ridiculous. But it could be the 39 reported incidents seem to be abnormal amount of reports for one machine compared to others. Need more information. Standard design? Could be too. But I noticed their machines are more expensive than the many cheaper ones on the market. Looks like they are are designing their machines themselves with more expensive parts instead of telling the Chinese factory to ship a house version. Again need more information.
     I would guess that the seemingly exaggerated number of incidents is likely a result of the surge of purchases from the Peloton fad that swept the nation in recent history. I’d wager a bet that Peleton machines make-up a congruously disproportionate percentage of all home treadmills.

    Re the video clip: I’m not really the only one who watched that clip and ended up laughing, am I? Cause, yeah, I lol’ed....hard.
