I know, and it really makes you re-think the baby/child proofing that needs to be done! I mean, I've already gone thru my house and cut the strings off of window shades, etc. but I'll be double-checking everything again since I have an almost-4 year old and a new baby on the way.
I can't imagine going thru that, I feel so awful for the family!
My husband showed that to me last night....It's always sad when a child dies especially in an unfortunate accident like that. Makes you think about all those little accidents just waiting around the corner in your own house.
I've always been SUPER freaked out by the treadmill, ever since we got it 6 years ago. I keep the "key" to it in my desk. I'm not sure how she got tangled up, exactly, but this definitely isn't making me feel safer about my treadmill!!!
So sad and scary ... I have a treadmill, too, and keep the key far, far away from little hands. Not sure that would have helped in this case, but at least it helps me feel a little safer.
