French fitness blogger, Rebecca Burger, was killed when a whipped cream dispenser (the one you make your own whipped cream) exploded and hit her in the chest. Her family is warning others about this type of dispenser (that contain a little air chamber). She was 33 years old.

I read this this AM!
It's a CO2 container within the whipped cream container (rather than air) and apparently hit her in the thorax, causing a heart attack.
The article I read on another news site said that this is not an isolated incident, others have been injured too, including some who have received broken ribs.

@KingstonsMom - Thanks for the explanation - who would ever expect to die of something like that?
