    There is a variant of the chair that have gaps in the seat to prevent rain from pooling. While it’s a useful feature, it also presents a danger because sitting on them can cause the gaps to widen, allowing things like testicles to pass through, and get caught when the person stands up.

    Enjoy picturing that thought.

          Pants! Pants my dude. If your balls are so low and so heavy that this still happens, like the previous dude said, there are other problems.

      At a shop I used to work at, we had these old computer chairs with hard plastic seats. The plastic would flex and crack just forward of where the metal seat pan was, so when you sat down you’d inevitably apply a load to the front edge and open this crack up.

      We joked these were Trump brand chairs given their tendency to grab ya by the pussy.

        I don’t know about you, but that gap seems safely out of testicle range. Unless I’ve been sitting totally wrong this whole time.

        Yeah I’d say the ones with drainage is just a variant.

        And there are different types. That commenter is probably referring to the kinds which have very long narrow slits in the seat. Which could probably catch your balls if the plastic got stretched or warped.
