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.BananaNuts

Okay, this is not cool at all. I am sitting in one of those types of chairs right now at my home computer. And I also sit on one all day at work. Not cool!

Are you referring to the fact that the chair kinda looks like it's holding it's butt? I don't know if I should laugh or be worried.

I am gonna go grab a woooden chair from the kitchen while I ponder this!

I would be nervous but seeing as I have never heard about this ever happening before. It really doesn't phase me.

I thought the topic was going to be about N64 Goldeneye 007.sun-son

Hey, if it does explode but doesn't kill me could I sue the company? Sweet. I'm going to try right now.Bloodbath_87

How sad :cry:

Whenever someone dies like this, I think "they woke up not knowing what was going to happen that day..."

We should have the Mythbusters verify this!Treflis
