    Ceiling fan bolts broke loose and the whole damn thing came spinning off

    like some evil destruction bound Hell wing looking for blood.....





    (no pics... I'm injured. just able to reach the keyboard in posting desperation as I gasp in my last few dying breaths)






    (ok, maybe not the last few.... but it still hurts.)

          I always wondered what would happen if one of those things came loose. Ours are kind of wobbly looking, it probably wouldn't hurt to look them over.

                              if it's wobbly, look out..... this one was wobbly for a long time and I never gave it much thought......


                              now I know.


                              this office fan was the only one I hadn't replaced. Fucker clocked me.

                                  that's why i always make sure mine is blowing downwards and not in reverse, so if it breaks loose it will just hover down slowly.

                                      Damn, that's scary Amp. Glad you're ok. If you had that on high speed I imagine those things could have sliced your head off.

                                      Whoa. Just thinking how freaky that would be cause then your nick would have been your destiny for fame.

                                                              happened to my cousin when he was a little kid. he was in his bed looking up and his ceiling fan came un bolted all of a sudden and landed right on him. he is scared to death of ceiling fans still.
                                                              He took the one in his bedroom out of his house cause he doesnt want it to happen again.

                                                              Often times I wonder why
                                                              There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                                              When sickness comes I must decide:
                                                              When feelings go, theres suicide.

Bout a foot square of glass? I was laying in my bed when I was a kid.. and one of them shattered right over top of me.

                                                                                      I missed losing an eye by about an inch. Been paranoid about stuff dropping on me ever since.

This is the first one I have heard of falling. There is probably a statistic somewhere about how many people get injured by falling ceiling fans each year. Hope you're alright.

                                                                                                      This is where my next million is coming from!

                                                                                                                                                  This is a good reason why i always check my fan here for loose bolts on it....Every 6 months or so i notice they start to loosen up a lil..nothing major bnut neglected for a long period of time ti would surely give out.

                                                                                                                                                  You can also use some Blue Loctite on those bolts to keep them secure, drip a bit on the threads wait 10 seconds screw it in and it should harden and lock the threads pretty nicely

                                                                                                                                                                  Luckily, I was out and came back to see a mangled fan and plaster all over the bed. You were lucky it didn't knock you out or cut you with the blades.

                                                                                                                                                                  It had been wobbly/squeeky for quite a while and I never bothered to fix it.

                                                                                                                                                                  I don't want to put it back up because like was said earlier it will always be in my head now that it is gonna fall again

                                                                                                                                                                                  You know those little light covers that people sometimes have over the ceiling lights in their bedrooms as a shade? Bout a foot square of glass? I was laying in my bed when I was a kid.. and one of them shattered right over top of me.

                                                                                                                                                                                  I missed losing an eye by about an inch. Been paranoid about stuff dropping on me ever since.

Yikes! It was one of those cheapie Home Depot 12$ dome covers that sit flush with the ceiling. It just shattered all over the livingroom one day!
