It sounds lovely. I'll take one and post it soon. It sat in a box for nearly 12 months because the first electrician we used didn't have a long enough ladder to put it up Re: Has a ceiling fan ever fallen on anyone? lol 15Oct 12, 2008 7:46 pm Heheh, no, I'm serious. All my posts are actually serious.
I'm fully aware many are odd and quite stupid, but I honestly don't know the answers to what I've asked, and some of them are quite humorous to me too. I'm not afraid to look silly obviously! How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Has a ceiling fan ever fallen on anyone? lol 16Oct 12, 2008 8:09 pm Grace they have been known to fall off.
Typically it is due to poor maintance and the hook they hang onto has worn through and away it goes. They fly across the room like a helicopter - until they hit the wall then they go all and any direction due to the impact of a spinning thing hitting a wall. So your fear is valid. But I suggest a very rare thing to experience. I suggest you be more worried about being hit by a car or getting sun cancer as you walk to work or to the bus stop.

Stayed in a QLD motel once and was hearing this clunking sound - ceiling fan was working it's way out of the ceiling, only held on by one rather stressed little screw. Cable or no cable, no way I was hanging around with that thing on! Re: Has a ceiling fan ever fallen on anyone? lol 19Oct 15, 2008 7:27 pm Oh my god, you see?!?!

Re: Has a ceiling fan ever fallen on anyone? lol 20Oct 15, 2008 9:14 pm Hi Grace
i am with you and i know what you mean Around 10 years back, we had a series of two ceiling fans falling in a span of 30 days. But that was in India. However, ceiling fans are much more in fashion there as of here and building material is much more stronger which is all concrete and steel. I am scared since then, but back there you cant miss even a single house or a room without ceiling fan. So, thats why remebering that i havent got a ceiling fan in our new house. OK, all of you can laugh at me now PS: i am serious Any electricians here please help. 1) Will the Fan need separate switch to ON/OFF/Speed eventhough it comes with Remote 2) how about… 0 1211 My home office is hot with computer equipment running virtually 18 hours a day.
