A German man caused €150,000 of damage to his rented house after
trying to repair an inflatable mattress. Being new in town, he had no
furniture – and now he has no windows or doors.

The 41-year-old, who has not been named, had moved to the town of
Diepholz in Lower Saxony and bought the self-inflatable air mattress
as he had no furniture in his new home, Bild newspaper reported.

But the mattress was leaky, so he used an industrial strength puncture
repair spray to try and fix it. This reacted with the inbuilt electric
pump, causing a violent explosion which threw him across the room,
ripped doors off their hinges and smashed windows.

Experts believe that heat from the electric motor ignited the gas in
the tyre sealant.

He had to be taken to hospital, where he was treated for minor cuts.
But a police spokesman told Bild newspaper the man was lucky to escape
with minor cuts and an injured wrist.

Prosecutors are now deciding whether to take action against him for
causing the explosion, according to the newspaper.

Surveyors were expected to visit the house on Thursday to see if it
was still habitable, but on Wednesday there were only shards of glass
left in the window frame while curtains were ripped and roof tiles
were lying on the ground, the paper said.

I don't think this is actually considered home "repair"

Was it a mattress or a blowup doll? Reports are questionable.

It's only $112,000 USD or so.
