Don’t Put Your Celly In Your Front Pocket!

Woah…this guy’s cell phone exploded in his front pocket.  That’s why you don’t put your celly in your front pocket people!  Not to mention the unknown repercussions of having that much radiation so close to your insides.

A man in a Guangzhou Lenovo store died after the cellphone in his chest pocket exploded. The explosion severed a major artery in his neck and caused massive blood loss, almost immediately killing him. Though the make and model of the mobile phone are still under investigation, a member of the staff said the man had just changed his cellphone battery to a new one. This is the 9th recorded cellphone explosion in China since 2002, so maybe it’s best to make sure your cellphone’s in a bag or something, rather than on your physical person. Hexun
