We allow companies to sell dangerous items all the time. People are mad at Peloton because treadmills are not generally thought of as unsafe.

The treadmills at many gyms lack a guard like other commenters suggest it should have. I can buy one for my home if I want.

I don't think this is the point the commenter above was making, but if it had circular saw blades on the corners, the pitchforks and torches would be out for the parents who let their kids near it; or even had one in a house with small children at all.

I think most treadmills have a guard just under them, not behind them. At least at every gym I’ve been to that’s the case.
