THE ULTIMATE TEST IN ENGINEERING
G64 Now Supplied with a Parachute

ISSUE 21.

G64


Bad day at the office? Disgruntled 'former worker' hurls desks, chairs and computers from window of high-rise office.

When we develop our task chairs we do `test them to destruction` but even our keenest engineers are never able to take their testing this far.

There was a little disappointment in engineering on the Monday after reading this article in 'The Daily Mail'. It does take their claim that the G64 task chair is pretty much indestructible to a new level and reminds us of the infamous story on Top Gear, where they tried unsuccessfully to destroy a Toyota pickup, even after putting it on top of a demolished tower block.

It appears two of the base fins snapped and an arm came off. They don’t mind the seat cushion coming loose and are content that the back stem, seat and backs seem in pretty good condition.

We of course, wish everyone well and we are glad that no one was seriously injured in the event.
