Woman Frozen To Death In Cryotherapy Spa

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

A 24-year-old Nevada woman has died reportedly after freezing to death in a cryotherapy chamber. A local news station in Las Vegas reported that Chelsea Ake, of Henderson was trapped in the chamber for at least 10 hours at Rejuvenice, a local clinic that offers cryotherapy, which involves stepping into a “cryosauna” or “cryochamber” with dry air and that dips below -240 degrees Farenheit.

The therapy has been used to reduce inflammation, slow signs of aging and help heal sports injuries, but effects are seen after only about two minutes.

News3LV.com reported that Ake, a Hawaii native, was the manager of Rejuvenice. Her coworkers found her frozen inside the machine last week.

"I do know that she was alone closing the shop up, and then did go into the machine and apparently did not turn off," her friend Shae-Lynn Bee told the news station.

According to a local police report, Ake used the machine without assistance and likely suffocated. Investigators said the death was due to an “operator error.”

“It's very frustrating to know because you know there are no cameras in there,” Bee told News3LV.com. “Basically, the only person that does know what happened is Chelsea."

Another report says the spa was not licensed to operate this equipment.

Usually you put a cold pack on for 15 minutes.

The ways people try to fight off old age and death are crazy.

Maybe she just really, really liked this movie?

A perfect theme for a murder mystery.

From what I've heard, freezing to death is a relatively peaceful and painless way to die.

That's my first reaction too.

Proverbs 31:30 - Charm can be deceiving, and beauty fades away, but a woman who honors the LORD deserves to be praised.

but how? I thought we were in a global warming pattern.

Typical Democrat, right? doesnt think before attempting death defying act.

If only the minimum wage were raised to $15/hr, then an attendant would have been more alert and supervised her treatment session.

Cute gal, too bad. I never heard of it before and damn sure wouldn't do it, now a sauna is a different story. The problem was doing it alone, dumb, but she didn't set the height of the gases that float on the surface, she was much shorter than the last user. I think I'll avoid therapy with poisonous gas.

you would think that something like this would happen to the 95 yr old Nancy Pelosi.

This place is ten minutes from me. I've gone there four times, although I don't remember that girl. Did a Groupon with a couple of the guys at my MMA gym. It helps relieve soreness and aches.

Next time you go in there you should start humming "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?" When the staff glare at you, just ask "too soon?"

If she stepped in there, the temperature would drop.

"Groupon" ? Is that where five guys get hard at the same time ?

Don't know why.
