Boy Killed By Exploding Office Chair

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."

Slowly backing away from my chair now...

Actually, I usually sit on an exercise ball. Coworkers ask me about it every once in awhile, I'm the only one doing this (that I know of) in a fair-sized company. I am totally posting this, just to see the reaction.
