Cellphone Explosion: Man Killed by Cellphone Explosion
"A Korean man was apparently killed by his LG cellphone today. He was carrying the phone in his left shirt pocket when it exploded, puncturing his heart and lungs. It happened in the North Chungcheong Province of Korea as the man was working on a construction site. He was found dead by one of his coworkers.
"When I was going up the stony hill to set dynamite, I found a man lying down beside an electronic shovel," said his colleague. "He was already bleeding from the nose. He had a mobile phone with a melted battery in his left shirt pocket. His shirt had soot on it in the shape of the phone."
The blast was strong enough to break the man's spine and a few ribs. This is not the first time we've heard of cellphones exploding. Although incidents like this are unlikely, we're keeping our cellphones at arm's length for a while, just in case. "

Exploding Cellphones: Cellphone Explosion Kills Another Person, Severing His Carotid Artery
"When a cellphone explosion kills a person, you think it is a rare event. When you learn that another man just died for the same reason, you start looking at yours like a potential killer.
The cellphone of this victim—a man in a Lenovo shop in Guangzhou, China—exploded without warning in his shirt pocket, slicing an artery in his neck, causing him bleed to death. The battery was recently recharged and, according to a fellow employee, it was completely new. The origin of the battery is still unknown.
Just in case, I'm not putting my iPhone in my jacket's inner chest pocket ever again. Or in my pants, for that matter."

So I told my son, "Don't put your cell in a pocket above your waist..." (hence the thread title), and he looked at me aghast and said "OK So what you are trying to say is that its perfectly fine if my cell explodes in my pants, blows off my dick, and I become a woman.....right?" To which I replied "Yes honey, as long as you are still alive its ok. Think of the upside, we can go clothes shopping together!"
