Pcmag.com just released a list of the ten most harmful health gadgets. One item making the list was this Bicycle Forest Treadmill Bike. It basically lets you pay $2500 to run down the street. Their slogan is "Take your favorite gym workout outside!" Um, I think that's been done before, and they call it jogging. And putting aside the fact that it's nearly pointless (though the manufacturer does point out that this product protects your feet from "dirt and other contaminants commonly found on the earth's surface") it's less than nimble in situations involving traffic, loose gravel, and, well... turning.The list is also full of other devices I'd be too afraid to try, including a head massager that would give me electric chair nightmares, a very scary looking device which claims to enhance your bust, and my personal favorite, a product called Snore Stopper. It looks like a watch but works by giving a person a "gentle electronic acupuncture massage" when they start to snore. So, it's kind of like a shock collar for people that snore?
