I was part of this recall, bought the 552 back during the pandemic. So I only qualified for a $50 voucher towards a new model, which happened to release at the same time of this recall announcement. Looking further into the recall details, the total unita of this affected model sold were 3,844,200. Of that 3+ million units, there were 350 reported incidents, 111 of which resulted in an injury.

I’ll take my chances with these dumbbells I’ve been using for the past 5 years rather than them trying to upsell me on the new model.

Heh yeah I went down the rabbit hole last night and stumbled upon his video. Always liked his content, his recent videos as well as his music back in the 2010s.

Yeah that’s kind of what I was getting at. The amount of energy required would be too large and impracticable/impossible to be leveraged in a portable form factor for use in the field, such as the video example.

Okay I’m interested. Is this theoretically possible? What does one need to counter something like this?
