Unless your gaming chair is 20 years old (unlikely) the chances of it exploding are close to 0. Remember - there's only been 3 cases of this ever occurring and they're all mentioned in the video and (coincidentally or not coincidentally) all happened in China. My advice would be to take your gaming chair to a furniture store that does repairs or any other qualified person and have them replace the piston with a wooden dowel if you're really concerned. They might give you some funny looks for your odd request but it should be a piece of cake for them to do.

No, not really that scary. You're reading too much into this. This all happened in China. This is the reason most Chinese with money won't buy Chinese products. The products they ship to other countries are held to a higher standard. When was the last time you heard of a chair doing this in your country? I'm in the US and, I never have.

[@MrNobody47710]

Hypothetically, we should probably try to create adjustable chairs that have zero chance of explosion. We've gotten too comfortable with various forms of "acceptable risk," particularly when the risks are largely unknown. Edit: OK, this is leading to more debate and discussion than I had anticipated. Luckily, my thoughts on the subject have been evolving. Most of us live in post-industrial societies. Several terrible things have been mitigated, thanks to things like modern medicine, while several other terrible things have become more common, as a result of society being completely reshaped around modern technology. Some of these things are "necessary evils," to an extent, but they can probably be mitigated/lowered, and some of these things are sort of pointless or odd. Chairs with smoothly adjustable height are one of the more pointless and odd things. It seems as though this is something that was adopted en masse due to their sheer convenience, all while most people are completely unaware of the small chance of explosion if the chairs are poorly manufactured or significantly worn down. A lot of modern society works this way: people are just thrown into accepting certain things without fully being aware of them. In the case of many modern nations, it's capitalism and the industrial revolution that have driven this. Hypothetically several other things could drive this, since a lot of the stuff that people have just adopted come from the industrial revolution and the evolution of various products. Capitalism is probably not an absolutely necessary ingredient in this recipe. While chairs with smoothly adjustable height (via gas cylinders) are not the best example of weird things that the public should have put more thought into or been given more knowledge on, since the odds of explosion are slim, they still represent an example of an odd risk that does not need to exist. Things like the original widespread use of lead is a better example of things that should not have been done, despite the convenience of lead. Adjustable height gas cylinders are much lower in this list of things, but they're still technically there to some extent, mostly because they're far from being a "necessary evil" of modern society.

[@danielyoung_]

Inversely, maybe the modern world has become so safe in most situations that smaller and smaller risks become unacceptable.

@@MrNobody47710 These gas cylinders usually don't explode, there is just a hissing sound and the chair would not adjust any longer. They don't explode in a self destructive way. It seems that chair in the video had some sort of defective cylinder combined with weak underplate or whatever it had. I see my chair has about 2mm of steel plate above the cylinder a steel bar (for regulation there) and 2 inches of some wood plastic composite, above that is the soft part... no way this thing is going to brake. And by the way my chair is from China and is relatively cheap but is sturdy and I usually buy office chairs from that brand it's about $150. Yes they break after a few years of use but in a non destructive way.

The chances of an office chair exploding is one in a trillion so don’t be afraid of your 10+ year office chair. For it to explode all the seals have to be broken, the piston has to be loose and the chair has to be at its lowest. Or pressurised air is used instead of pressurised gas. Even if you have a cheap brand you have to be really really unlucky for the chair to explode. So don’t worry too much.

Takeaway from this video: there are 5 steps you can take to ensure this doesn't happen to you. 1: ensure your new/old chair has the propper safety labels 2: check the piston in your new/old chair for any cracks, etc. (Most chairs have a way to lift the plastic covers over the piston, I noticed, so it's possible to check) 3: DONT PLOP ONTO IT (So even if it is broken somewhere, there is less likelihood of the explosion of being extremely volatile) 4: Dont rapidly raise and lower your new chair 5: don't use a office chair at all. (An extreme but valid measure none the less)

[@edi9892]

That's really scary! I've seen a whole bunch of office chairs that got stuck in the lower position. I bet that the gas had leaked out slowly, but it shows that even regulated chairs can have similar problems, which could at least theoretically end much worse!

Tends to tell me that going with a more basic chair is best. As in just a wooden chair or folding steel chair.

[@zephsmith3499]

Leaking out slowly is very different in cause as well as consequences, than combusting and exploding. I don't see how it could be much worse in theory.

[@LadyVoldemort]

Mine always sets in the lowest, because I'm short and obese (everytime I tried to set it higher, it would just sliding down back to the lowest, probably because I'm too heavy, or that old thing was just already broken in the first place (second hand, most likely made in China, probably why the first buyer(s) sold it back to the thrift market)). I wonder if I had to throw it out of my house right this moment, but there's still some sentimental feelings to it too, it's s been the chair I sit on everyday since 2015.

[@cerebralm]

Leaking out slowly is "fail safe". It's objectively better then violently exploding.

[@jpteknoman]

i always hated that mechanism in office chairs. not because it could fail and explode, first time i hear of it, but because it eventually weakens and starts sliding down on its own and i have to keep adjusting the chair height. this is why when i could afford it, i got a custom made one that doesn't have it and is set to my desired height permanently.

Maybe theres something wrong with yours or something, I've a relatively cheap office chair that I've used for over the past 18 years and its just fine.

That is a good sign because it slowly losing pressure instead of fail and explode you can keep using it until it cannot lift you up any more.

It's a simple office chair which can handle 150 KG and the spring was tested and could withhold a pressure test of 1136KG. I was even thinking about an chair without an pressure spring. Why do we even need a pressure spring? I would be fine with manually adjusting the chair (mechanically)...

[@stillready6405]

@@_____glitch I bought it from Amazon Germany and it's called "Daccormax Bürostuhl Ergonomisch". The product ID/ASIN is "B0B5XTCST7". I'm sure there are other chairs with similar features. Many don't state those kind of features, I don't know why, maybe because it's expected or a standard thing? 🤔 I just felt better reading about those features in the product description.

[@nasedo1]

I reinforced my Grospol Ergofix office chairs (at home and at work) with 2 mm thick steel sheets, to protect the plastic seat from breaking under my considerable weight by spreading the pressure over a large area of the steel sheet instead of six small areas of the tilt mechanism base plate. I hope it will protect me in (unlikely) case of such explosion.

[@SuperBlackReality]

The funny thing about this: 99% of those chairs are always just set to desired height and never changed. Which begs the question: do we really need this mechanism in first place. Why not chair that can be regulated by some screws, just set to desired height and don't worry about it, like in old days

[@Foxhunter_DE]

It's a comfort thing, even if you never change the height, it is a plus in comfort. You sit down, and the chair is going a bit down so that you don't have the feeling that you're sitting down on something like a kitchen chair. I needed to use one of our really comfortable dining room chairs for two weeks, because my office chair was being replaced. I was so happy when the two weeks were over...

[@SuperBlackReality]

@@Foxhunter_DE I have my chair at the lowest setting, so no difference for me.
