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."

    My sister-in-law was sitting on one of those, holding her newborn baby, when it burst. Not a good thing.

    Her baby burst? Now that's really gotta ruin your day!
