In 2010, a 42-year-old Taiwanese man with a history of high blood pressure died of a stroke which his doctor claimed was likely triggered by "overexcitement" from watching James Cameron's Avatar in 3D.


No, I'm sorry, that man probably died from sheer frustration... Though I was thinking yesterday that the upcoming virtual reality headsets are a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Died of boredom, I could understand.
Excitement? Watching Avatar?!? Nah.

I like the in the house in a heartbeat scene from 28 Weeks Later, that got the heart going, i imagine if i'd had had an undiagnosed heart condition then it would have revealed itself then... actually come to think of it, there are much more likely candidates for when i would have had a heart attack which i won't share with the forum :p
