I have slept under this fan for 15 years now and I keep it running almost constantly. It has yet to kill me. It is on at this very moment and I will sleep under it tonight.
I wonder why we haven't see some silly correlation like "breath death." Do you have any idea how many people die shortly after breathing for the last time?
I actually read it a really long time ago, but I just read it again. Let's review how my scenario is like that which allegedly causes fan death:
* I do not open any windows. Ever.
* My fan does not oscillate (it is a ceiling fan).
* I sleep directly under it.
* I have it on all the time.
* We face extreme heat. This is Arizona. It's well over 100 F all summer long, often closer to 110 F. That means 40+ C most of the time, for you metric users.
* The humidity is usually low, so if it kills you via evaporating all your sweat, these conditions should dry you out faster than anything else.
I have done this all summer every summer for some 15 years now. I am still alive. Heat stroke can kill you. "Fan death" will not.
The post you linked to was stupid. I did, in fact, read it, and I feel dumber for having done so. I award its author (and you) -1 point, and may God have mercy on both your souls.

It sounds like you also haven't read the post I linked to.
