Watch out the Ceiling Fan is about.
The strange cieling fan is a very good invention and can be used instead of air conditioning and work to save a bit of energy in that respects.
The ceiling fan is used for many different things including the obvious keeping the room cool as well as suicide, a hat and the possible urban myth of beheadings..
The question is, how is the fan used as a hat?? Well if left without a look in, over time the fastenings on the actual fan can wear down and start to loosen up which then of course ends up ripping the fan off the ceiling altogether ending up as a nice hat for anyone sitting underneath.
Suicide isn’t the obvious “jumping head first into the blade” it is actually sadly done in the form of hanging. It is often used as a hanging point for people and is seen in many films as well..
There is a huge lie that is told about the fan and that is the power it has to behead somebody.. A lot of people will go along with the films they see in which people get beheaded by the fans.. The television programme Mythbusters proved that by using a replica dummy of the human head that the blade would certainly tear the throat open which of course would lead to death but the fan could not actually behead anyone, which asks the question, where does all of this stuff about fan heaters and ceiling fans originate from?
It was more than likely taken from a single film and then used by other companies for their projects.. The only thing you will get if you come neck first into one of these fans is a modern “Nearly Headless Nick” and not a full beheading..
On a lighter note the ceiling fan amongst other inventions that include portable humidifiers and HEPA air purifier can actually be more useful to you than deadly.
