Why is he wearing a helmet and a high-visibility sash when he's on a treadmill.....?

[moorepants]

All University's have safety requirements for human subjects, thus we have to wear a helmet. The yellow sash is a rock climbing harness that is connected to the ceiling via rope and prevents the person from contacting the treadmill if they fall.

if he gets going fast enough, will he become airborne?
