ABSTRACT:
A safety harness on/off switch assembly for a motorized treadmill comprises a support positioned over the treadmill, and a safety harness including a pair of spaced laterally interconnected straps at their upper ends yieldably and flexibly suspended from the support and at their lower ends including a pair of loops to receive portions of the body of a user upon the treadmill. A normally closed safety switch is mounted upon the support and is located in the electrical circuit of the treadmill. When the user faints, falls, or trips, or is injured, his or her body rests upon the straps and opens the safety switch thereby automatically shutting down the motorized treadmill.
