Luckily there was a cd case for me to land on, and pieces of wood. But seriously, I was lucky not to impale myself on said pieces of wood, but still overall a little traumatic. 
I liked that chair too, I had for at least 10 years and not a problem. It will be missed.Im glad also I had a spare which is the same, [which in fact it doesn't sqeak as much], so I don't have to get accustomed to something new.
