Man tries to fix airbed, blows up apartment

1 hour, 20 minutes ago

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German who tried to fix his leaky air mattress blew up his apartment instead, the fire brigade in the western city of Duesseldorf said Wednesday.

The 45-year-old man used tire repair solvent to plug a hole in his airbed and left it overnight.

But it blew up when he went to inflate it the next day. "A spark from the electric air pump ignited it," a fire brigade spokesman said.

The blast pushed his living room wall into the building's stairwell and caused extensive damage to walls, windows and furniture.

But how can we be sure that it was not one of those inflatible sex toys that caused the explosion.

Going to bed for a 45 years of age man can actually be dangerous.

was it just a crappy air mattress or one of those real beds filled with air?

Why does he need an airbed anyway? What does he do with it?

I would have tried to do the same thing.

I don't think that it could happen in the US. Most of thse stuff in the US is covered with fire retardants. We have a very strong chemical industry that pushes the use of chemicals on everying "in order to protect us."
