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.

How tragic,

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.
