Sounds like she may of dropped her phone in the chamber and went after it.

Nevermind. This is clear female actions here leading to her death...

I stated before that smartphones will become the leading cause of (accidental) death in women in due time.

At least she doesn't have to worry about sore muscles anymore.

Not sure if I believe there is an afterlife because a girl like this would surely be the one to figure out a way to instagram from there if it was possible.

[Saweeep]

I find it distasteful how many members here seem to take pleasure in anything bad that happens to a woman, irrespective of the circumstances.

I don't really take pleasure in this but it is pretty stupid to die while going back after your cell phone in a presumably dangerous situation.

The circumstances point out she was probably being a moron.

That's not the point I am making and I think you know that really.

You're presuming too much.

I expressed similar sentiments when Lamar Odom fucked himself up too. Zero sympathy for people who do stupid shit to themselves.

Most NBA and NFL teams are using this technology. I wouldn't say its a fad considering these guys dump 10's to 100's of millions of dollars in finding cutting edge ways to rejuvenate players. I doubt these teams would be doing it if it wasn't safe.

Athletes are likely being paid big money to endorse 'cryotherapy' to get the average schmuck to shell out big $$$ to partake in this 'revolutionary' new technique, which I might add has no real scientific basis. The largest target market are women looking for the latest way to halt the wrinkling process.

This shit is stupid. Get cold without getting wet. Big fuckin deal. What a waste of liquid nitrogen. First person to frostbite their dick is going to be sorry.

Well... Have any men died in this way? If not, it's probably safe to say it was indeed because of her gender.

Trying to draw inferences from a sample size of 1 is stupid.

On a related note, the very fact that this is a news story means this cryotherapy shit, regardless of efficacy, is at least pretty safe. If people were dying from it left and right an incident like this wouldn't be newsworthy.

This is still a very new procedure with regards to being available to the general public. Even then, it is quite expensive.

I am not saying people would be dying left and right even if it was being made available enmasse, but fact is we really don't know much about long term effects.

Look how dangerous tanning beds can be, people used to say they were super safe.

I just don't see any man risking their life over a smartphone. There's no two ways of saying it: this is simply an incredibly female way to die.

Well to play devil's advocate, imagine you were doing this cryotherapy shit, which you had done hundreds of times before with no adverse effects and suddenly your phone fell. I think it would be a pretty reflexive action to reach down for a quick second to retrieve it before it became irreperably damaged. I could see myself doing that. The girl in that second probably wasn't thinking about blood supply to the brain and other shit like that.

Also, you completely overestimate your average man if you think reaching down to grab an expensive phone in a potentially dangerous situation is something only women would do. Some time back I had the opportunity to shadow an orthopedic surgeon during his clinic days as he saw patients to find surgical candidates. A lot of the injuries were work place related and the patients would obviously describe what had happened. The retardedness of some of these dudes was amazing. They'd mangle their arms and legs in machinery etc for reason of sheer carelessness or stupidity, without even having the excuse of trying to save a valuable. Let's not kid ourselves: people are retarded, men and women both.

[CynicalContrarian]

New Millennial female trend?

They can't detach from their smart-phones for more than a minute, even if it risks death?

[The Beast1]

So wait, she dropped her phone into the cryomachine and tried to get it out?

How deep is this machine? Did she fall in and the lid fell down locking her inside a la Final Destination?

She must have gotten stuck or was super short and couldn't climb out if the picture of Lebron in the device is correct.

[SlickyBoy]

Athletes used to sit on the sidelines with oxygen masks too, till they realized it has zero benefit to someone not suffering from a heart attack. So, wouldn't be surprised if this fad goes away after some experimentation.

Probably stuck her head under the vapour. I'd imagine she either didn't think not to breathe it in and went light headed, or the supercold vapour caused her to reflexitively gasp (same as when you are plunged into ice cold water, that's why so many drown even if the water is not that deep). Then she suffocated and froze up.

She's the perfect candidate for an attempt at re-animation, that's for sure. Most rich people who pay to be frozen after death have other factors that cause the death, and a delay between death and freezing. Not this chick, she's a perfect specimen.

This is the dictionary definition of looking at situations from a slightly different angle.

No.

A man would not take his phone in the chamber in the first place.

This mimics stupid shit women do like take their phone into the bath or sauna, a man would relax in the session and focus on its benefits.

Cryotherapy is essentially ice cold showers and ice baths. The latter have been proven to actually raise the immune system and various other bodily functions. Cryotherapy just does it faster. Burning 500 calories after having gotten a 3 minute deep cold exposure is no little feat.

But of course the technology is a bit more risky than an ice bath, since doing it for 4-5 minutes can already be dangerous.

She was a 24 year old Millennial with plenty of moxy. Men going after their phones woiuld likely pass out at much lower probability. But I have seen plenty of young strapping men pass out just standing as honor guards in the military, so they are not immune.

She was careless neglecting the very real danger she found herself. As others stated here before - when you lift a monstrous weight, you are extra careful unless you want to incur a serious injury. In this case passing out is a potential risk, so one must be extra careful. She may have forgotten to never breathe in when looking for her phone at the bottom. Accidents do happen and usually 24 year olds are not the most careful folk you can find.

even more tasteless

This is yet another development in the decline of Western Civilization I have never heard of. Why is a woman willing to freeze her ass off at -240F but she feels threatened if you say hello to her at Border's Bookstore?

She feels threatened if you look like a fat, ugly fuck who smells bad. She won't feel threatened if you look like Bieber, Cruise or whoever is hot these days and you can carry a conversation like a normal human being.
