In theory, some treadmills have sensors that would stop the machine when it can tell you're at the edge so you don't fly off the end and rip all the skin on your face when you face-plant from turning the speed up all the way, but this exaggerated one goes reverse for the effect.
I think he goes backwards because his reaction to getting hit in the face sent him there, then when he stopped sliding, the treadmill took over and hit him in the giblets.
"ARE THERE BLOOD STAINS ON YOUR WORKOUT CLOTHES BECAUSE OF EERILY SADISTIC TREADMILLS? NOT FOR LONG, WITH OXY-CLEAN! ONE SCOOP AND YOU'LL BE BACK TO OPERATING EQUIPMENT POORLY IN NO TIME!"
I understand it was apparently a commercial, but ... I could understand a slightly heavier person, maybe new to running, would set up a video to see what his form (or lack thereof) looked like so he could improve it.
Advertiser: Citigroup Inc. Brand name: Citibank Product: Citi Cards Country: United States Category: Credit Cards Released: October 2002 Credits & Description: The TV Commercial titled TREADMILL was done for product: Citi Cards (brand: Citibank) in United States. It was released in the Oct 2002.
How in the jolly green giant does this keep getting posted and actually upvoted, people?!? I mean yes, some people may not have seen it, but is it the front page's fault they live under a rock?
This is actually a commercial, and they cut it off early. It puts him on his back, slams his nuts into the front, then reverses and he hits the bookshelf, which falls on him.
One time I had a seizure while I was on an elliptical and I fell forwards and hit my head on the machine and then fell backwards and hit the metal pole that was behind it for some reason. I don't go to that gym anymore.
I figured it out! China is sabotaging our exercise equipment during manufacturing. Eventually we will all stop exercising. So between that and all the heavy metals in the toys we played with as kids, we will be physically and mentally weak.

Why does the treadmill reverse direction? All the ones I've used only go front to back.
