The UK's TOP 10 MOST BIZARRE laptop demises
LapSafe® IT Insurance has highlighted the most bizarre ways in which people have managed to destroy their machines beyond all repair.
Staff analysed claims data over the last five years and, after some debate, agreed that the country's strangest claim had to be that of a Yorkshire University student who dropped his laptop off a bridge 20ft down into a river. The student had even drawn a diagram showing the bridge and how he had been pushed from behind by a friend.
Second spot in the computer catastrophe chart went to the schoolchild whose mum managed to smash the laptop's screen by dropping an iron on it; third went to a person whose dog chewed through the cable causing the machine to short out (the dog escaped without injury).
Fourth was awarded to the woman who forgot she had put her laptop down on her drive and then accidentally backed her car over it, and fifth to a hospital worker who managed to spill a fastfood milkshake over the keyboard.
Here is the TOP 10 MOST BIZARRE Laptop demises:
