I pulled this same move a few years ago, except my treadmill was up against a wall and lacked an emergency shutoff. So I fell and was pinned against the back wall with a shirt over my head while the treadmill continued to whir under me gradually sanding, sanding, sanding my skin to a glossy finish. I had a graphic, terrifying vision of what the medical examiner would face the next morning before regaining my bearings and rolling off the belt.

Also, this is an opportunity to link to a fantastic video:

Thanks for posting that–I had only seen a brief clip of that before. That really is super!
Some of that gliding makes me wish I hadn’t sold my ice skates.
