I know, I know, we had an employee post this on LinkedIn.
Go check it out if you haven't already seen it - PSA LinkedIn Post
But it was so good, we wanted to have it here too...
To give you a little background, one of our dealers reached out to us with a slight problem: Their customer had decided that 5 of our adult-size Tub chairs would fit into the back of a standard pick-up truck.
That all was fine until they drove down a highway about 5 minutes away from where they had picked the chairs up.
Driving 100 km (about 62 mph) one of these decent-sized cardboard boxes took that particular moment to catch the wind and take flight.
I mean, I've always wanted to learn to fly as well. But here's the thing.
This chair weighs around 60 lbs.
And it was flying through the air... 🦅
Somewhere in the process, the box got separated from the chair, leaving the chair hitting the ground and at a swift pace, and coming to a halt on the side of the road.
The good news is, it hit the road and nothing else.
Imagine a 60 lbs chair coming through your windshield, yeah that doesn't sound too fun...
🎉Now for the PSA...
Take a look at this photo...

This is the exact chair that flew out of a moving vehicle, took flight, and came crashing down onto a hard road.
Let me list the damage for you, so we are a little more clear.
1️⃣ The upholstery, yes there are scraps and rips, obviously.
2️⃣ The feet, again, scraped up and needing a little TLC.
3️⃣ The frame...the only damage caused to that frame is a slight crack in the wood where the chair met the pavement. An easy fix for our production team.
And other than that...this chair is perfectly useable.
