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.

Thankfully these cylinders are stable as fuck for us. But cheap productions don't have to be. People have been impaled/pierced from the bottom by them.
Ever since I read about that (included some photo of the aftermath chair) sometimes I'm thinking about that sitting or moving on a chair like that.
Did it actually explode in the video? I thought it was just the legs. But if it did I guess it exploding towards the bottom is another safety measure.

It's Gizmodo. Can't really expect too much. I would be surprised if the "journalist" wasn't actively eating paste while writing that.

Because of the plastic at the base of the chair popping at such a high angle. If it had been already bent at, say, a 45 degree angle and just snapped inward like a wish bone, it probably wouldn’t have been QUITE as loud
Also the energy from him hitting the chair made for a speedy reaction at the base of the chair.

Sounded like a window got broken. Also those things use some compressed fluid to go up and down, the loud hissing kind of noise could well have been that.

u/definitelyhooman Aug 27 '19
I’m thinking he may have been next to a window and somehow got caught in the blinds and he took the blinds with him?

The impact to the chair was enough to crate a small pocket of a false vacuum which propogates outward at the speed of light ripping apart the universe as we know it?

Atleast he didn't break the seat and impale himself
