However, that is not the question. The question is how likely is it to happen and the answer is not very likely especially if you don't make the treadmill go faster than you can handle at your current fitness level.
You are totally right. I must stick to what I am comfortable with for now and then move on from there. I am sooooo glad to be back at gym again. I do feel a bit shy when all these muscle men walk past me and probably think I'm a sissy.
