Once the shock of the situation wore off, many began theorizing on Reddit as to how the freak accident could have occurred.
User ‘Zakkimatsu’ chimed in, suggesting that the “heat from the PC” combined with the effects of the air conditioning “freezing the room,” is what could have caused the accident.

Conversely, user ‘5minutelettuce’ argues that “the boom arm was clamped too tightly on the desk and the desk eventually gave way with the tension of it leaning over for so long.”
