In recent shocking and sad news, Chelsea Ake-Salvacion, a 24-year-old aesthetician, was found frozen to death inside a cryotherapy chamber — after being trapped in the machine for approximately 10 hours last week, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Few details are known as to how she came to be locked inside the chamber at Las Vegas salon and cryotherapy center Rejuvenice Cryotherapy (where she worked), but according to a local coroner's report, Ake-Salvacion died in a matter of seconds.
The news report I watched last night (ABC) said that the device wasn't set at the right height, and because her head wasn't above the device she suffocated before being frozen. The report was a bit lacking in details, so don't know how accurate it was. It may have been an accident, but if you're playing around with something that can kill you, I would think you would have better training & safeguards in place.

So the liquid nitrogen hit her in the face and suffocated her? I wondered how it happened when the coroner said she died within seconds. Very sad.
My friend loves this cryotherapy stuff for after she runs.
I see it costs $40 a session around here. She says hers are $20.
I think a bathtub full of ice water would actually work better and cost a tenth of that.
