Oh, this was really tragic and I can not imagine someone stuck on a treadmill, it must really be very painful. Since this accident is not very unusual, it is the responsibility of the treadmill owner to keep it in a place that children will not play. If you are going to buy a treadmill, make sure that you take all the precautions if there are any kids at home. If you already have a treadmill at home, make sure that kids will not be attracted to play with it, you can tell them that it is a dangerous machine for their age.

My daughter had an accident with a treadmill at a birthday pool party…i was keeping a watch on her to not get close to the pool that I didn’t imagine what a horrible accident would happen next: while older kids turned the treadmill on my child put her hand where the belt turns, trapping her hand and causing a third degree burnt…it happened in the blink of an eye but we learned a valuable lesson…it doesn’t matter what object it is…it can cause a severe injury..and our job is to keep them away from that.

We have seen the umbrella episode happen many times…scary stuff!

Martha, I agree that way too many parents threaten and never follow through. This is a big problem with today’s parents and a rampant one at that.

people, treadmills are for adults, not children. i feel for mike tysons family and i wish them comfort in their sorrow. this was a freak accident, just like many others that occurr in everyday life. last month in destin, a gust of wind picked a sand umbrella up out of the sand,it flew over 25′ and landed next to my head while i was laying out on a lounge chair. by the time someone yelled “look out” the spear part of the umbrella, had landed in the sand next to my face. i opened my eyes and saw the spear part fly by as the umbrella landed. i told one of the attendants,(at the hotel), he told me it happened 5 years ago and the spear went thru a mans chest, he lived, but just like me, i will be more aware of my surroundings, especially when i go to the beach…

People, people, people….How many of us raised children back in the day when there were no baby-proof caps for everything in the world? No plug covers, no stair gates? yada yada yada We watched them to be sure they were safe…they didn’t wander all over the house, unsupervised. And when they did get into something they shouldn’t have, we popped them, and good. Too many of today’s parents don’t supervise and when they do finally get around to a corrective action, it is after 30 minutes of—”stop that” “don’t do that” “I’m gonna beat you if you do that” “quit” “you know you ain’t supposed to do that” and on and on and on.

The problem here is the mother was not watching this child, plain and simple. It is a horrible, senseless tragedy that did not have to happen. And I am truly sorry for the family and the child.

Also, if this woman was Mike Tyson’s girlfriend, one night stand, whatever….she could not have been too bright. Think about it. Would YOU have a Mike Tyson baby? Perhaps she didn’t have enough sense to monitor her children.

my deepest heartfelt sympathies go to the tysons..what a tragic horrible thing to happen. they sure dont need any of us casting blame..im sure they will second guess everything they did forever.

i am a worrywart too..i have tried not to make my kids the same. when i was a kid it was like others here described..after breakfast and chores we were gone not to be seen again til supper time. and we were in the woods..in the creeks…at the shopping center…at the pool…wherever…wlaking–on our bikes..and yeah we got hurt. and yeah we had stitches and casts…

my kids have had the same. my last child (the one who is graduating :(() was my biggest thrill seeker dare devil..(she was the 5th so by default had to be tough as nails lol) anyway..when she was 5 and i was telling her something she wanted to do was dangerous she said ‘mom-theres a 50% chance i will get hurt-but theres a 50% chance i WONT get hurt..what as i supposed to do sit around when theres a good a chance i wont get hurt as there is i will?? well i couldnt argue with that logic…she has lived to the ripe old age of 17- and is all in one piece and has had a wonderful exciting thrilling childhood.

Theresa, I am with you. I come up with new things to worry about everyday.
We have always been careful about the treadmill. We unplug it when it is not in use, and the kids know that it is for adults and is not a toy. However, I know that a friends kids play on theirs all the time!
I have wondered about the cord, as well. I am assuming that it was the safety shut-off cord, but that begs the question, “Why didn’t it shut off?”
I know that you can not guard against every danger. I also know that I survived – somehow – while doing lots of dangerous things. Still, I worry.
