A dangerous treadmill people have to pay a monthly subscription for. The future sucks.

How are they different from any other treadmill? Almost every treadmill I’ve ever seen has an exposed back end that could pull something under.

We've had treadmills for ages, can Peloton test their equipment first, at least?

Lol seriously have the execs never been to a gym and seen someone struggling on a treadmill? The least they could do is incorporate safety features for overpriced treadmills

Peloton’s revenue for 2022 was about $3.5 billion.

They’re higher off the ground than the average treadmill.

Plus, their model torques up and then starts accelerating backward and forward to try to further mangle dislodge the obstruction when it senses one.

Oh they can. They just didn't like the aesthetics of making it safe.

Do they have a safety strap if some kind? Magnetic key or similar that would turn it off?

Peloton had received more than 150 reports of incidents involving people, pets or objects being pulled under and entrapped at the rear of the treadmill, by the time the company informed regulators, the CPSC said.
Those reported incidents included the death of a child and 13 injuries, including broken bones, lacerations, abrasions and friction burns, the agency said.
