Falling down at a snail’s pace

While having breakfast, something unusual happened – her dining chair slowly gave in and broke down. The breaking of her chair was really at a snail’s pace. It was like you’re watching a movie in slow motion mode. Very unreal.
Manel, our house helper, and I were momentarily stunned immobile. We didn’t know if we’ll make it in time to grab her. My mom DID seem in control of her falling down pace.
Anyhow, my mom managed to fall gracefully off her chair and she wasn’t hurt. It turns out that one of the chair’s metal legs is the culprit. After laughing off the incident (my mom’s expression was really funny), we fixed the leg with a mig welder (Trivia: MIG stands for metal inert gas), then inspected the rest of our dining chairs to make sure that incident won’t happen again. *whew!*
