These are both great questions for the FAQ, but I'll answer here too.

Some people get sweaty hands, and others do not. It's not likely your hands sweating, but your arm sweat running into your hands. The best defense against this are sweatbands as worn by basketball players.

Falling off is actually a symptom of drift, slowly running to one side or another, which is addressed in the FAQ, I'll just copy paste my answer from there here, but if you would like me to elaborate on anything I would be happy to do so. You could also simply have a wide frame, and you fall because your gate/stance is too wide. If this is the case you need a wider treadmill.

Drift: There are three things you can do to help control drift:

  1. Make sure your focus (Monitor) is at eye level, exactly in front of you, and not skewed at all. You will walk in the direction you are looking, so placement of monitor becomes incredibly important.

  2. Slow down. The faster you go, the harder it becomes to adjust when you make a mistake. You can increase incline to compensate for the reduction in intensity. It's OK to start out slow, you are building a habit, not training for a marathon (Unless you are...).

  3. Use a more passive distraction. Start with music, then move to podcasts, then movies, strategic games (RPGs or Telltale games), and finally action games. The more intellectually intense the distraction is, the more pronounced your drifting will be.

    Drift is a normal problem starting out, but just like anything else it's something you can work on and eventually control to the point of elimination. I had very bad drift when I began, but was able to get it under control within a month, and now after a year I am proud to say I have 0 drift, and can play Shadow of Mordor or similar fast pace games with no worry about falling over, no matter what speed I run at.
