1. A treadmill, comprising:
a treadmill body;
an inertial sensor, mounted on the treadmill body, continuously sensing a plurality of sensed values while a treadmill belt of the treadmill is running;
a processor, coupled to the inertial sensor, acquiring a plurality of first sensed values sensed within a preset period by the inertial sensor, analyzing the plurality of first sensed values sensed within the preset period to determine an event threshold value, and determining whether a plurality of second sensed values sensed not within the preset period by the inertial sensor satisfy a normal condition according to the event threshold value,
wherein, in response to the plurality of second sensed values not satisfying the normal condition, the processor controls the treadmill belt of the treadmill to stop running,
wherein the treadmill body comprises a pedestal disposed with the treadmill belt, the processor calculates a plurality of included angles between the pedestal of the treadmill and a ground with respect to a plurality of time points according to the plurality of sensed values, and the processor determines whether to control the treadmill belt of the treadmill to stop running according to the plurality of included angles.
