Spontaneous Combustion of Electronics

I thought it was hilarious a couple of months ago when a man's Ipod caught fire in his pocket. Thankfully, the man was not hurt.

I just recieved a FWD: in my inbox from Mother. I find it hilarious that her generation still FWD's endless chain letters and other various junk that's been circulating inboxes for the past 10 years.

This FWD is about a man whose cell phone almost blew his hand up. See below:







THE MESSAGE INCLUDED IN THE FWD:

We have to be extra careful with these darn cell phones -
Don't charge your mobile the whole night and don't keep it near by important
Never, ever answer a cell phone while it is being RECHARGED!!

A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. Just at that time a call Came in and he answered it with the instrument still connected to the outlet. After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud. His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious,

with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers. He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. Cell phones are a very useful modern invention. However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument! of death.

Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!

FORWARD THIS TO THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER IN YOUR LIFE!!!!


So is this for real???
