Perforating wound
When the barometric bar of an office chair explodes, fragments of the barometric bar may splash out at high speed. These fragments are usually sharp pieces of metal with a strong penetrating force. If the debris hits the human body, it can cause puncture wounds, such as in the leg, buttocks, waist or even abdomen. Such puncture wounds can damage muscles, blood vessels and nerves.
In severe cases, fragments may puncture vital organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The liver and spleen are important parenchymatous organs of the human body. Once they are punctured, they will cause massive internal bleeding and lead to hemorrhagic shock. A punctured kidney may affect urinary function and lead to serious consequences such as acute kidney failure.
Blunt trauma
The impact of the explosion would have caused blunt trauma. Even if not hit by debris, the human body can be hit by other components of the office chair, such as the back, armrests, or the seat itself. This impact may result in soft tissue contusions, such as extensive bruising on the buttocks, back or waist.
For the spine and cervical spine, blunt trauma may cause more serious injury. It may lead to spinal fracture, dislocation, compression of the spinal cord, and then cause limb paralysis, incontinence and other serious consequences. If the cervical spine is injured, it may also affect the respiratory center, which is life-threatening.
burn
In the case of some office chair explosions, they may be accompanied by sparks from gas leaks and friction, causing a fire. If the human body comes into contact with fire or hot gas, it can cause burns. The extent of the burn may vary depending on the time of contact and the temperature of the flame, ranging from mild first-degree burns (only the epidermal layer is affected, and the skin is red and painful) to severe third-degree burns (all layers of the skin, even the underlying tissue, muscle and bone, and the skin is blackened and necrotic).
Burn will not only cause skin damage, but also lead to a series of complications. Extensive burns can lead to infection, shock, and multiple organ failure. In addition, scar contracture after burns may affect the normal function of limbs, such as hand burns may cause fingers to be unable to extend, affecting hand grip function.
Other injuries
The loud sound produced by the explosion may cause damage to people’s hearing. Loud noises can cause the eardrum to rupture, causing tinnitus, hearing loss or even permanent deafness.
Psychological trauma is also one of the possible consequences of exploding office chairs. Such sudden, violent events can cause psychological shadows for victims, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), manifested by repeated memories of the explosion scene, anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks and other psychiatric symptoms.
