Blogger dies via cream dispenser

quite possibly because a ball has a large volume and the impact is spread over a large area.

ever taken one to the face? it shocks you a little bit but doesn't really hurt that much.

when I was a teen at a community centre i was walking through the doors where people were playing indoor football and took one to the face just as the doors opened :mad:

Try taking one to the nose or in your throat/adams apple. I've had both and the nose one left me seeing stars (rebound shot to the face at close range) and the throat one left me gasping for air.

Still a great game though.

Anyway it looks like those small metal cannisters are the ones that cyclists use to pump their tyres up, a lot of pressure in those as those bike tyres get to 120PSI.

Glad we didn't have a whipped cream dispenser. Whatever happened to using a normal one?

And here I was thinking you were a sportsman in earlier years and often took balls to the face when in fact you just managed to walk through a door and walked into a flying ball!

He's took more than balls to the face :)

Fire extinguishers can also fail like this, which is why you don't have your head over them when you first pull the safety pin and depress the trigger.

Im just trying to visualise why anyone would hold an extinguisher over their head, it would be quite difficult to hod there. These canisters, im surprised they are plastic, i wouldnt touch anything high pressure thats not metal, especially a thread.

It's gone over your head!
 
As a student I once had reason to do some project work about bullet proof vests and one to the limiting factors on design (at the time) was protection from blunt force trauma a vest could stop a round but needed enough rigidity and bulk otherwise you could be killed by the force of the bullet/round transferred to your body. Much like what seems to have happened to this unfortunate young lady.

Off topic but a cricket ball bowled by an international class fast bowler has more energy absolute than an electron accelerated at Cern.
