Hospital workers at a local hospital have warned me personally to never use a treadmill desk. They tried them for some of the staff and after one injury per week for a while — to people’s noses, mouths, and faces — the treadmill desks were banned outright.
They are not a viable substitute for being away for monitor. It’ll work fine for a while, but the eventual injuries that occur are to the most sensitive human-social area available: your face.
Overwork isn’t worth that. Please take breaks instead of using a treadmill desk.

- floatingatoll 8y agoI didn’t ask, sorry. It seems safe to assume PEBCAK as an outcome of distractions, surprises, and overwork tiredness.
