Boy Killed By Exploding Office Chair

Posted by samzenpus on Friday February 20, 2009 @07:49AM from the sit-very-slowly dept.

The Land of Smeg writes "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 pressurized gas, and it was this which exploded, sending high velocity chair parts into the posterior of the unfortunate youth."

I agree. This is probably a hoax. Never mind the fact that there's no blood ANYWHERE, or that there're no pictures of the ruptured gas canister itself, just look at the news sources. Do they look like credible news sites to you?
Until I see some credible evidence I'm just going to file this under urban legends. The fact is: people are liars, doubly so when juvenile shits and giggles can be had at the expense of gullible people on the internet.
