in 2009 a 14 year old boy had died after the gas cylinder inside his office chair exploded and shot upwards through the leather/fabric, and everyone knows where it most likely hit him but i'd get banned if i said where. and guess what? he wasn't the only victim--so far there are 4 known cases.
now i'm scared to sit on my chair.

@heer
the pressure builds up in the chair's gas cylinder so much that it'll shoot upwards like a rocket |

Luckily I am sitting on a basic dining chair, I hate office chairs because they keep moving around.

To lift and adjust the chair when you pull that lever under the seat.
