Default A great safety measure in the home

My wife had an accident a few weeks ago on our treadmill in the back of our home while I was in the front. Fortunately I heard the thump and her grunt. So I responded within 20 seconds or so. After this incident I wondered what if I was in the garage or gardening?

So as an added safety measure I ordered a couple Air Horns on Amazon. They arrived and we tested them. Very loud and shrill. Small canister and easy to use. So we put one down by the treadmill. And one in the master bedroom. As additional safety I ordered 2 more. One for each of the showers.

Air Horn - Mini Fog Horn Noise Maker with Hand held Pump 2pks of 1 Can .81oz.

2 were less than
$10 incl their shipping.

May be good to have one on the car too…,

Doesn’t your treadmill have a safety stop tether?

air horns also work well in wooded areas to scare off bears, & other imposing wildlife
