Steven Tyler Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Holy shit that's scary. I never those chairs had gas in it. Shoot man, I'm bringing my own chair when I go to use the school computers now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingle Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm sitting on a bomb ATM. I kinda wanna find a nicer, less explodey chair now. D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Fuck, I'm not getting an office chair any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Wozzeck Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I attribute this to poor construction of the chair. The compression that is allegedly caused by this shouldn't be enough to cause that kind of thing... But still, that is really fucking scary. Good thing I work on an old-fashioned wooden chair.

Herr Wozzeck Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 GOLDENEYE WAS RIGHT! XDDDDDDDDD I don't think it was that kind of explosion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemund Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Interesting. This is why computer rooms need AC, so said gas doesn't expand and explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuli Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I use to play on those chairs. I'm not going to do it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceNoctali Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I seriously question the veracity of this story. If the chair showed in that article is the one which exploded, where's the blood on it ? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGV Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 maybe it was internal bleeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The piece of metal went up his rectum, so blood would flow out of it...yeowch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 You guys are getting scared of office chairs because of one instance when the chair exploded? Unless there's some kind of outbreak with exploding office chairs, I'm still going to sit on mine when on my laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this is a child we're talking about here; it takes less to force a shocked child off of a chair than it does a shocked adult.

Same here, just because one does doesn't mean all of them are going to go boom. Edited February 21, 2009 by Siegfried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fëanen Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Anything can go wrong in a catastrophic way. However, I'd say off the top of my head that the odds of this exact event or similar repeating is so slim that there's no cause for any real concern. Most of us here will probably die deaths that are rather usual. Don't worry about chairs, worry about heart disease and cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandjackal Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at this moment. Funny you mention it, because I think an office supplies made in China joke would be a bit cruel... As for no blood on the chair, along with most likely being blasted off it, the first reaction I think one would do when shards of metal is blown up their rectum is to not be on whatever did it. Even if the kid wasn't blow off it, I'd think the kid would have toppled off of it due to pain and...not wanting to be sitting on what blew shards of metal up their butt.

I didn't say it had anything to do with office supplies being made in China, I just find it somewhat funny that a chair exploded and killed someone with shard of metal going up his arse. While I do sympathise for the boy and his family, there's two side to everything and I'm finding one stronger than the other at the moment.

I know you didn't, I was just saying I could relate as that was the first thing my brain thought up before the guilt hit. Was just trying to relate a point is all.

Deity Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Death shouldn't exist in my opinion. I always feel bad when I hear someone's died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
