The tragic sudden death of Silicon Valley entrepreneur Dave Goldberg, CEO of SurveyMonkey and husband of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, has taken a twist. The cause of death was initially withheld; now it has been reported that the 47-year old died while working out in a gym at a Mexican resort hotel. Goldberg was found by his brother lying next to a treadmill in a pool of blood, with a gash in his head; state officials believe the injury occurred after he fell off the machine. Meanwhile, the general manager at Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita - denies that Goldberg was even a guest at the hotel or residences.

> Most people who use the clips are running faster than they think they can sustain, not just jogging or walking at a typical-to-them pace.
Maybe that is true in practice, but that is not the intended use for the clips.
As proof I submit walking treadmills, none of which can go faster than 4mph and are generally operated in the 2mph range. They all have fail-safe clips. Here is one such example. [lifespanfitness.com]
