GIZMODO- 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.
Oh, Chinese made, it makes sense now.
Think I’ll BUILD my next chair.
Yikes!
@#16 – I just did. Scared me for a sec

That was sick. I watched about 21 seconds and that was more than enough.

#8 – Holy Obama!
It’s been a looonnnggggg time since something was so nasty I had to look away and gag.
I salute you!
How can you misuse a chair? I have a korean made chair with gas cylinder that I bought back in 1995, its fallen off a pickup truck, slid 50 feet down the road, I’ve taken it with me over 3 residences, I’ve stood on it, rocked in it, slept in it, spun in it and it has yet to explode.
Lets face it the Chinese make crap, and they don’t really care because they know we Americans will buy crap as long as its CHEAP.
Well, I have a chair with a gas cylinder that was made five years ago. I’m sitting on it now, I don’t think it could possi AEIEIRIERIEIEIEIEIEIEIEEEEEEeeeeeooowwww…..

Yeah, those guys at Smuckers sure don’t make their strawberry jam bottles as sturdy as they used to

Algore,
Don’t forget to share it with everyone
#31, Angel,
I wouldn’t worry about #28 sharing. He is trying to replicate the experiment himself.

As if my life wasn’t scarred enough I had to click on that link……….
#33 Diesel,
And what does that video taught us all? That if you’re going to stuff a rectum with a bottle it better be made of plastic
#34, Angel,
You know you’re a horny old bastard. Well, I could be wrong. You might not be old.
Yeah thanks for making me paranoid at work. thanks a lot…
The amount of gas from the cylinder would not be enough to cause explosion. The kid must have farted so hard that it produced excessive additional gas. Too much gas -> explosion! Simple.
