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.
