Oxygen is so bad for you, too. It literally damages cells. I don’t mean this ironically or anything else. It is physically bad for you to breathe pure oxygen.

You just know he’s going to have some hilariously ironic death like the Segway scooter guy. It’s like learning about the guy who claimed God couldn’t sink the Titanic and deciding, “I’m going to do that! Every day!”

Oxygen is corrosive as fuck. That’s why people are so obsessed with anti-oxidants. It’s important to cellular respiration because it is do damn volatile, but our bodies have to do a lot to keep it contained and safe.

Hyberbaric chambers have a tendency to explode.
There was one in the new the other day that tragically exploded with a small child inside.

What did the little shit do to cause it to explode?

Wasn’t Apollo I destroyed when a spark caused an explosion on the launchpad due to pressurising the cabin with pure oxygen?

No, it was because of shoddy wiring causing a fire inside the capsule in an area that couldn’t be accessed easily or extinguished from the outside. The egress sequence was also very time consuming (somewhere like 90 seconds). Apollo I also was just a training module, it never got launched.

Maybe, but that’s neither here nor there. We can’t draw that correlation to effects of oxygen on the body via respiration.

He already broke his leg by dancing like a white guy on stage at a concert a couple of years ago.

The segway guy is actually a pretty sad story. James Haselden was a genuinely good guy, founder of a company making a type of portable and collapsible barrier, originally intended to shore up canals and rivers but ended up solving a variety of problems around the world.
He kept manufacturing local to his childhood home, paying significantly above the average to his staff, created jobs and opportunities for many people in a relatively impoverished community.
Gave many many millions of pounds to charities and good causes.
He bought the segway company, intending on reviving what had become a failing business and died a pretty tragic and stupid death and now all anyone thinks of him is “haha how ironic”.

Even in death he keeps on giving.
