*Looks at my wooden chair*: Perhaps I have judged you too harshly

Boy, I could've really live the rest of my life not being scared of my chair now

As a 14-year old, watching this video on an office chair in China is definitely *not* a recipe for stress relief...

I once heard a saying that goes "never cheap out on anything that connects you to the ground" so shoes, tires, mattress, and apparently office chairs.

Never in a million years would I have ever thought an office chair could be deadly.

This literally happened to me in 2007 from a biker style stool from Cosco. Exploded 2seconds after getting off of it 3 days after purchase. I’m so lucky I wasn’t on it, I’d probably be dead, but it threw me into the wall from the blast and set my kitchen on fire. I thought someone threw a grenade at my house or the oven exploded or something. Absolutely terrifying.

I think it’s about time i start appreciating my 4 legged wooden chair

I never thought I'd be adding exploding office chairs to my list of irrational fears today.

I have never felt so uncomfortable watching a video. You know. From an office chair while Brew explains how they can explode.

This almost happened to my brother, thankfully the air piston shot out the bottom of the chair legs instead and chunked into the floor. It only toppled him.

Watching this video while sitting in an office chair is one of the scariest things I've ever been through.

"Talks about a 14 year old kids gaming chair exploding and being put in the hospital."
"Proceeds to sponsor a game about exploding stuff"

Have had an office chair for 3 years that is falling apart. It NEVER crossed my mind that it could explode.

[SalreixVonOtsuu]

i had literally no idea office chairs even had the potential to explode
if i was aware of this earlier i would never have gotten one

[alistairsmith]

I always wondered why all the high end chairs I see have such hefty steel plates between the cylinder and the seat. I had no idea it was a story written in blood.
