Sometimes you run across some news that if happened to someone else, it would have lesser impact. It might even be a joke.
SurveyMonkey CEO, Dave Goldberg, husband of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, died on a treadmill. His skull was "cracked open." Filthy-rich people can also die of really silly things.
It is a serious matter, of course. Even if the above-mentioned description, skull cracked open, pops up in some violent cartoon, it's something we need to take seriously. Running on treadmills can be dangerous.
We have seen countless videos on Youtube of people being thrown off treadmills. Often, we call them idiots. I mean, you can always be careful. And why run on a speed you can't handle? But what if something goes wrong? What if you have a stroke in the middle of things? What if you trip while running in maximum speed?
In 2009, Mike Tyson's four-year-old daughter died after being strangled on a treadmill. We may look at a treadmill as an easy and simple exercise machine. In concept, it really is, just like a stove. There needs to be more precaution.
Maybe we should not use treadmills alone, or just never be cocky. And be self-conscious. Sometimes we like pushing ourselves. Exercise comes with discomfort; but don't neglect the signs that may be telling you're pushing it.
You could die, you know,
You could die, you know,
