A French fitness model and lifestyle blogger is dead after a "domestic accident."
The BBC reports Rebecca Burger, 33, was killed Sunday when a can of whipped cream suddenly exploded, apparently causing a heart attack. French media said she died of cardiac arrest after the dispenser burst, striking her in the chest.
Her Instagram account, which had more than 160,000 followers, shared a photo after her death showing the whipped cream siphon that "exploded and struck Rebecca's thorax, resulting in her death."
The brand of whipped cream dispenser Burger used was not named, but the BBC says a French consumer group has issued warnings for years about faulty connectors on gas capsules that can cause them to break, causing eye injuries, broken bones and even death. Whipped cream cans inject gas into a metal container, keeping the entire dispenser under high pressure.

Really Uncool Whip.
I guess it’s true that whipped cream is unhealthy.
lawsuit time
Divine punishment for eating junk food?
Says the trial lawyer :-)

...
I’ve read of kids being killed in a similar manner by a baseball striking the chest.
I never heard, even one time, Blanche Devereaux ever had one problem with hers.
She was really fit, but if you’re going to die at 33 perhaps you should eat, drink, and be merry.

I have a Crossman 600 CO2 pellet pistol from the early 1960s. In college, I brought it to show my ROTC Marksmanship instructor.
He somehow loaded the CO2 cylinder wrong and it jammed in the tube under the barrel. He used a pair of pliers it free it.
When it broke free, it shot around the range like a rocket! Banging off desks and walls and breaking a light fixture. We all ducked under desks to avoid the missile.
Luckily, no one was hurt and we all got a nervous laugh out of it. But the pistol was not invited back.
Few years back there was a kid playing high school hockey in Quincy, MA that got hit in the chest with a puck. Same result.
What is a fitness model doing with a can of whipped cream anyway?
She was a beautiful woman in full.
Betty LOL
Pictures at the original story ... wow. Charming lass indeed. Sad for her to die this way.
Oh January Jones. Not much of an actress but very nice to look at.
