Japanese Foot-Massaging Machine Kills Three People
So, we're not really sure what's going on here, but three people have been killed by mis-using a Japanese foot massager. We've only got specific details about one death, which happened when a woman removed the protective cloth cover from the machine -- called the Shape-up Roller 2 -- then strangled herself when it got caught on her collar as she tried to use it on her neck. The manufacturer, Matoba Electric, issued a warning against removing the cover or using the device other than as directed, but has not yet recalled the device, which seems to be powerful enough to massage the tension out of a T-Rex's feet. We've got a feeling there won't be a Shape-up Roller 3 anytime soon. Video of a Japanese news broadcast about the accidents after the break.

Life can be so easy to lose and the lesson here truly is to try to be careful in all that we do.I am sure people who lose their lives accidentally are suprised they died and no doubt sorry and wished they remained in bed that day.Lets not be reckless in day to day life and hopfully we will all live to a nice ripe old age.
