Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Why is there an open window behind a treadmill?” a user said. “OMG. That is horrific. Why would treadmills be placed in that position? Should have been turned in the opposite direction,” added a second person.

“Sounds like negligence on the part of the gym. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out not to have a treadmill back up to an open window,” added another. “That’s pretty terrible. All I can say is to have situational awareness. Murphy’s Law is if something bad can happen, it probably will,” added a fourth user.
