Shocking: teenager knocked unconscious trying to cool Xbox 360 |

This story is a classic example why anyone shouldn't submerge live wires under water. A 14 year old teenager from Brevard, North Carolina was found unconscious after a futile attempt to save his Xbox 360.His mom was around to see him having troubles with the Microsoft next-gen console, claiming it turns off after every 5 minutes. When she left to visit neighbors next door, the young guy found suggestions online on how to fix his suffering box. He then wrapped the power supply with plastic, dropped it to a pan of water, before knocking himself unconscious.
“When I left to go next door he was playing a game but when I got back he was laying on his back on the floor and unconscious,” the boy's mother said.
Fortunately, he recovered even before the paramedics arrived. Poor guy didn't get to play after all, and was left contemplating in the Transylvania Community Hospital. As for the image to the right, well, the Xbox 360 wasn't as fortunate as the boy.

"He then wrapped the power supply with plastic, dropped it to a pan of water, before knocking himself unconscious."
The case would get laughed out of court.

You idiot!
I hear car companies are going to be sued for making things that can kill other people (as in when you run over them).
Also in the news (i guess in your insane world), your Mom is sueing Black + Decker for creating a saw that cut off your f*cking finger!
I HATE STUPID PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

Or, the solution to using the newer electronics that run hot is to use the electronic device under water to keep it cool, could you really blame the electronics manufacturer?
"Well your honor, my clients hair dryer overheated and would not turn on, so he filled up the sink and dropped it in to cool it off. Who would have thunk that doing something like that was a bad idea? So we are sueing Vidal Sasoon for making a hair dryer that got too hot."
I don't think so, not even close. If you could sue a company for your own stupidity, this country would be full of stupid rich people while all the smart people would be broke. Nothing would ever get invented or done, and our society as we know it would collapse.

It wasn't suggested to dump the power source in water while using the xbox360! He read that the issue with the 360s not working is related to overheating. So he thought, water will cool it. Do you honestly believe that anyone would put a serious suggestion to dump the 360's powersource in water to keep it cool.
Use your head, man.
