Boy Nearly Killed Trying To Cool Xbox 360 -
08-23-2007, 04:36 AM
A 14 year old boy from Brevard, North Carolina was nearly killed Sunday while trying to stop his Xbox 360 from overheating.
The boy’s mother told local news that his Xbox 360 kept turning itself off after about 5 minutes. Her son had read online that he could stop it from cutting off by cooling the power supply. “I saw him put the cord on top of a box in the living room”, said the boy’s mother. “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”. While his mother was away the boy had taken the power supply and wrapped it in plastic and tape. In an attempt to cool it off, he submerged it into a pan of water with the cord still plugged in. The boy had regained consciousness by the time paramedics had arrived. He was taken to the Transylvania CommunityHospital in Brevard where he spent the night. Aside from getting knocked unconscious the boy only suffered small burns to his right hand and foot. http://www.funtechtalk.com/boy-nearl...cool-xbox-360/ |

I love that, the site tells the kid to wrap the cord in Plastic Wrap and put it in the bowl of water... hmmm... Do we blame the website? Do we blame the kid and his stupidity, or do we blame his mother for allowing him to use the internet, or for allowing him to get as stupid as they come...? =D

Seems the kid came up with it himself -_- I mean all that was said is that you have to cool off the power supply, you can do that alot of different ways without putting it in water...are you dumb. Un plug the thing and let if freaking cool off! Idiot

on serious note... hes 14 years old you would think he would have some common sense as to not put electrical objects into water... i say both him and the website are at fault. the website for posting something so stupid knowing someone would try it and possibly be killed. And also the boy for trying it out... If ur xbox360 begins to overheat... TURN IT OFF dont continue playing.... take a break and go outside to play or sumtin
