Who could forget ~~Kristen Johnston~~ falling out the window in Splat! or ~~Mirandas mom~~ dying in the same episode as Carries cherished laptop? But and here is where I will warn you, in my most serious tones, to proceed no further if you havent already watched the premiere episode in full nothing can, or ever will, compare to ~~Big~~ getting killed off via Peloton. Yes, ~~John James Preston~~, a man who survived marriage to ~~Natasha~~ and the wrath of ~~Aidan~~, died of a heart attack after taking his thousandth class on the high-end stationary bike. Im sure SATC fans, like me, are saddened by the news that ~~Mr. Big~~ dies of a heart attack, said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventative cardiologist and member of Pelotons health and wellness advisory council, in a statement to The Times. ~~Mr. Big~~ lived what many would call an extravagant lifestyle including cocktails, cigars, and big steaks and was at serious risk as he had a previous cardiac event in Season 6. These lifestyle choices and perhaps even his family history, which often is a significant factor, were the likely cause of his death. Riding his Peloton Bike may have even helped delay his cardiac event. It continued: More than 80% of all cardiac-related deaths are preventable through lifestyle, diet and exercise modifications. And while 25% of heart attacks each year are in patients who already had one (like ~~Mr. Big~~), even then they are very, very treatable. The lesson here is, KNOW YOUR NUMBERS! Its always important to talk to your doctor, get tested, and have a healthy prevention strategy. The good news is Peloton helps you track heart rate while you ride, so you can do it safely. The company also confirmed that it was aware that King would appear as a fictional Peloton instructor in the episode and that a bike would be shown in use. And just like that, Carrie says in the episodes only voiceover, ~~Big died~~. It is an instantly classic Sex and the City moment frustrating and ridiculous yet oddly moving. And it all centers on a piece of fitness equipment that costs roughly as much as the average Americans monthly mortgage payment. Its not great optics for a company that had to recall 125,000 of its treadmills after the death of a child earlier this year. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:960801386] in Peloton bl...

It was enough to tank their stock 11% when news of the death scene came out. That happening because of a fictional character dying is absurd and not the sort of thing the company can ignore.

Prestoff 12/10/21 6:03:30 PM #12:	This might have a negative consequence about Brands only allowing their products to be used in media if it's under their control. Anyways I don't get Sex and the City. I remember I had to watch a movie from Sex and the City with my Ex in the theaters years back and it was boring as fuck. Maybe the television show is better, but man that was a slog to get through. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:960803437] in Peloton bl...
