In this short I mention that there have been several office chair explosions in China. It’s a problem that gained a lot of media attention, and has even been covered in a Chinese TV program called Seeking Truth.
Here’s the relevant episode. About five minutes in they conduct a test where they drop sandbags onto several office chairs. The force of the explosion that ensues with some of them is genuinely terrifying – one of the chairs even catches fire after detonating. Not something you’d want to be sitting on!
