Use as directed! We’ve all seen the warning labels on just about everything we buy now, and most of us take it for granted when we read them. You think “of course I know how to use this” those labels are for stupid people. While you may be correct, three people in Japan ignored this label on the Matoba Electric, Shape-up Roller 2, and paid the price with their lives, with one woman being strangled to death.
More info and video from Japan regarding the accidents after the break.

“We've only got specific details about one death, which happened when a woman removed the protective cloth cover from the machine -- called the Shape-up Roller 2 -- then strangled herself when it got caught on her collar as she tried to use it on her neck. The manufacturer, Matoba Electric, issued a warning against removing the cover or using the device other than as directed.”
