I once had the back spring on a chair break in spectacular fashion. It was on an obusform knee-tilter I bought second hand. I was fine for a few years, but eventually I could feel the back getting looser and looser over time so I kept tightening the spring tensioner to keep the thing in check. One day I leaned back as one often does to stretch the arms and back, and... SNAP. I went straight back and my legs nearly annihilated the small desk and knocked a monitor off it's stand. Thank goodness we were not yet in the era of daily teams meetings...
