Could happen with any treadmill. As a rule of thumb, I would not let a child near gym equipment, plenty of potential injury / death there.

- mort96 5y agoNo it couldn't? A lot of (most?) threadmills have something below the underside of the belt so that objects can't get sucked in.

- mort96 5y agoSure? But it couldn't have happened with any threadmill, just ones with that issue. Also, for all I know, it's possible that those threadmills have some safety properties which the Peloton threadmills don't. Is the belt less grippy, so that it would be easier to get out? Do the motors stop spinning when they get stuck? I don't know, but it doesn't seem too unlikely. I'd be interested to know.
