Vending Machine Death
April 15th 2007 00:25
Reportedly 2 people die every year from altercations with a vending machine
An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association documents how way back in 1988, 15 cases in which men tried to get a can of drink out of the machine were crushed. 3 died, the other 12 required hospitalization for injuries such as fractures of the skull, toe, ankle, tibia, femur, and pelvis; inter-cerebral bleeding, knee contusion, and one punctured bladder.
As a result now, vending machines often display a warning label such as "Warning! Vending machine design prevents dispensing free products or coins. NEVER ROCK OR TILT: Machine can fall over causing serious injury or death" as used by the Coca Cola company.
Roll on natural selection!
