This story is clear evidence of the fact that always and under any circumstances, you must control yourself. Otherwise, even a harmless and useful thing can do harm.





Can a piece of furniture kill its owner? Calmly. There are many options - the TV exploded, the cabinet fell on his head. especially clumsy citizens may become entangled in the curtain and suffocate or break his neck, tripping on the carpet and falling from the height of his own height.



The same safe

But, for example, a safe, it can be involved in death its owner? If only to climb inside and suffocate. But it's over the brink of absurdity. Meanwhile, as in the list of the most ridiculous deaths there are such a case of reprisals against the owner. And he was a famous person. And in memory of a sad event and as a warning to others in the city of Lynchburg (State Tennessee), in the office of a well-known company proudly flaunts an unusual exhibit. The sign next to it reads "The safe that killed Jack."



The same Jack

It's about Jack Daniel - a famous entrepreneur, who invented Jack Daniel's whiskey. This semi-legendary story happened to businessman in 1911. He came to work early and made an attempt open the safe. The man was already in years - Daniel was in his seventies. AND his memory often failed him. A nephew who worked for the company accountant and served as a lifesaver for uncle in various questions (including a reminder of the code) were not yet in place.



Jack freaked out, kicked the stubborn piece of iron with his foot and broke the big finger. In general, the injury is trifling. But he managed to catch an infection which caused blood poisoning. The unfortunate leg was amputated, but this did not help the situation: Jack died. Some researchers True, they believe that the story is very much exaggerated. And the safe is not involved to the death of a businessman. It's just a coincidence and its time has come.



But, nevertheless, even if the story is semi-legendary, it has a moral. Even a few:

no need to run to work ahead of time;

you need to write code for memory problems;

it is worth keeping emotions under control;

it is important to calculate your strength by kicking weights with your feet in order to save the last and other non-redundant parts attached to them organism.
