A boy in China has been killed by an office chair after it exploded while he was sitting on it, according to reports.
The 14-year-old boy died from extensive bleeding after the chair’s gas cylinder burst, sending metal chair parts into his rectum.
While pictures of the chair have swept the internet, they did not reveal the boy's name or when the incident allegedly occurred.
A gas cylinder containing compressed air is typical of adjustable office chairs. An air valve operated by a side handle on the chair may be used to raise or lower the seat.
In 2007, another chair reportedly injured a person after exploding in China.
Newspapers said a 68-year-old man escaped with minor injuries after a 20cm chair piece pierced his bottom.
The allegedly fatal office chair.
