A few days ago, an exceptional event took place in the United States. A player was saved… by his gaming headset. This is not an endorsement of any particular product, but a fact: a Razer headset saved a life. Let's take a look back at the absolute stroke of luck from Reddit user called Enough_Dance_956 .
A stray bullet
It's April 1, 2022 and despite the date, it's not April Fool's Day. Enough_Dance_956 is quietly playing, in front of his computer, when suddenly, a knock resounds on his head. He soon realizes that a stray bullet has just ricocheted off the top of his headset, saving his life. Indeed, the metal bar inside the Razer headset deflected the bullet, which then left to lodge in the wall.
The user revealed some images of the incident on his Reddit account.
Still in shock when posting his story on the networks, Enough_Dance_956 considered himself very lucky: "If the headset wasn't of good quality, I would have died at 18. I can't even imagine all the pain my family and friends would have gone through . He then called the police, who recovered the bullet and are currently in the midst of an investigation.
Unfortunately, the user revealed that he lives in Torrance, in South Los Angeles , which is an area very affected by this kind of incident, where armed clashes are quite common. Although he says he has "a big garden" and therefore the ball must have come from quite a distance, it could still have been fatal for the young player.
Razer's response
Enough_Dance_956 was very grateful to Razer, behind the savior headphones, and wanted to thank them directly. "I'm trying to reach someone at Razer to thank them with all my heart," he said. The brand's moderators replied to him and their conversation then continued in a private message.
But surprise for the young player, it was the CEO of Razer himself, Min-Liang Tan , who came to hear from him by writing under the post: "Wow that's crazy. I'm glad you're well" .
Yesterday, the Reddit user said he was in discussion with Razer and that they were going to send him a brand new headset, the previous one being unusable.
