Boy Killed Anally When Office Chair Explodes

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. [Anorak via The Daily What]
they will just end up turning an office chair into a catapult
yep
ADAM- The lack of bloody rectum debris is very curious if the 'explosion' killed the victim
JAIME- "We will have to fill a plastic butt with fake blood and test that theory on Buster"
It’s day bree. ; )
I was about to say “Holy Sh**” when I relized that I’m sitting in one of those Chinese BRD chairs as you read this. I cudda been Barney Franked.
Good God, Freepers are so funny.
I knew before I even opened this up that it was was gonna be fish in the barrel funny.
Thanks for the tagline, al baby! ;-)
First day on the job, Deputy Fife?
If only this could happen to Keith Olberboy during one of his “special comments”.
New band name!
I own one of these chairs. The gas cylinder eventually lost all its pressure. The chair absorbs your weight as you take your seat.
I can understand how one of those would be over-pressured if one were to drop suddenly onto the seat. (Or if someone who was overweight had previously damaged the base of the seat.)
I have no trouble with the basics of this story.
This is important news.
In any case, who appointed you posting police?
To the anal affixiated crew apparently. Perhaps you two should consider starting an "anal ping" list.
Don't waste my time questioning how long I've been on FR Cheezball. Per FR guidelines, I can change usernames and abandon old ones when I feel like it. My ego doesn't one upmanship.
In my years I’ve seen more chair shots and bloody rectum debris than I care to remember, this doesn’t look like a genuine case, a test shot possibly, but that’s as far as it goes.

That chair you are sitting on it could kill you
“Perhaps you two should consider starting an “anal ping” list”
I will except for the fact that you’re the only arseh*le I know on FR.
Hmmm..., a new meaning for “up yours’....
You get what you pay for when you buy Chinese goods that feature rock bottom prices.
LOL! Hey! That’s my line!
“its a fake where is the bloody rectum debris ?”
I was just thinkin’ that. Unless the velocity was so great that it created a vacuum as it passed through and the evidence is on the ceiling. That must be it.
