Obviously waking away from a running treadmill is a bad idea, but to get "worthy of a lawsuit" out of this is just a demonstration of how overly litigious our society is. That lady should feel like a dumb ass for stepping on a running machine....Sure she has a right to think the OP is a knob for leaving it running but why in the world would this escalate to involve the law? I know it has not, I am responding to zig stating that this is suit worthy.
People should be a lot more responsible for their own actions and look less to others to find fault.
This is nothing like running a stop sign, I am not sure how that comparison even comes into play....In that case someone did something unlawful, here they did something not too bright...
