How can Fans Kill?
The very concept of an appliance killing without direct contact or electrocution is a hard one to accept. There are many theories to what causes fan death. Here are a few of the main theories. Try to keep an open mind.

Hypothermia

If a fan is blowing in a sealed room then it may cause the body temperature to cool down enough to cause hypothermia. Severe Hypothermia can cause death.

This is an interesting theory and one that sounds good. Until now, I have not been able to find a source or website that suggests fans as being able to cause Hypothermia.

Hypothermia Websites:

Mayo Clinic - http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?id=DS00333

Center for Disease Control and Prevention - http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/extremecold/faq.asp

Suffocation

The blowing fan somehow creates a vacuum around your face area, which prevents you from breathing correctly. The result is death.

This is also interesting. I don't think skydivers or people who stick their head out the wind of a moving car ever died.

High Levels of Carbon Dioxide

Another suggests that fans use up oxygen and create fatal levels of carbon dioxide in the room.

I think a sealed room without a fan will eventually have high levels of carbon dioxide if someone is breathing in the room. I don't know about a fan speeding this process up, though.

Others

I have seen other theories, but feel they are truly not plausible. If you have another theory to add to this list, please contact us. Be ready to explain and defend it.

Within white culture, your choice of transportation method says a lot about you. For example a Prius says you want people to think you care about the Earth,

Weird. My dorm room the idiots kept the building way too warm all winter, so my roommate and I left the fan on high 24/7. Way to save energy by warming the building way too much. We never died either
