[quote]Well, stories don't get much worse than this. A 14-year-old boy in China was killed when his chair exploded, sending chunks of metal into his rectum. The bleeding this caused killed him.
The alleged explosion came from the gas cylinder that was in the base of the chair, the part that allowed the user to adjust the seat up and down. The canister gets compressed when you sit on it, but can it actually create enough energy to make the seat cushion explode like that and kill a man? I doubt it, but this is what people are reporting.
In other news, I am working from a beanbag from now on. Sweet merciful crap.[/quote]

Those chairs have gas in those cylinders, that's how they work, cause enough fricton on it, and it can explode.

Article from 2009 swag. Regardless, this article, and the whole story sounds pretty suspect.

This was on 1000 ways to die, except it was an old guy who was waiting for his -blam!- to download so he started bouncing up and down, and... that happened.

This is from 2009.

And here I was thinking a fat kid had sat down, pushed the seat stand through the seat and up his arse. This is much more awesome
