I'm reading Charles Stross's Rule 34 at the moment.  One of the plot points is people dying in mysterious household accidents, often involving household appliances,  One man is killed by his vacuum cleaner.

I wasn't thinking of this when I did the hoovering this morning, until I tugged too hard on the power cord and sent a heavy Dyson tumbling down the stairs towards me.  Only damage to me seems to be a graze on my little finger where I tried to catch it.  The machine appears undamaged.
