Mike Tyson’s daughter died tragically while playing on treadmill
Mike Tyson’s 4 yr old daughter passed away tragically yesterday when she was strangled by a cord while playing on a treadmill (link below). According to the CPSC each year more than 25,000 children are injured by home exercise equipment. We recommend to clients/parents that any type of exercise equipment be completely off-limits to children. We’ve installed “surround” style gates around home gyms or just around one piece of equipment. Even if the machine isn’t on children can suffer burns, lacerations, finger pinching, and sadly suffocation (or possibly electrocution) from the cords. If you have exercise equipment in your home please be sure to take appropriate safety measures to insure your child doesn’t have access to it.
