Submission + - Boy killed by exploding Office Chair (sankakucomplex.com)
The Land of Smeg writes: "Itay News (Japanese) and Sankaku Complex are reporting that a fourteen-year-old boy was killed after the chair he was sitting on exploded, propelling sharp chairs parts into his rectum, resulting in extensive bleeding, to which he succumbed before medical attention could stem the flow.
The chair in question was a standard gas cylinder type, where the height is regulated by an adjustable cylinder containing highly pressurised gas, and it was this which exploded, sending high velocity chair parts into the posterior of the unfortunate youth.
The illustrated chair shows the severity of such a cylinder malfunction. This really makes you think, is your office chair safe?"
