I have just read this in a paper poor man not to mention his family!

Yes poor man tragic.

Gangnam Style dance is more physically intensive than that of normal tracks played, but the article to state "However, he said that the Gangnam Style dance was not to blame."

Unfortunatley and sad that heart attacks are nothing new.

For us as DJs there is nothing I can see to prevent this happening again; apart from not playing the track; it is a risk, very low risk.

And the can can, cotton eye joe, the twist, and the hokey cokey and various other songs also spring to mind

To be fair it doesn't really matter what track was playing, it just happened to be gangnam style - much better headline.

It might have been more appropriate if instead of this:

"The tragedy has prompted a warning to others. Cardiologist Bernard Keavney told the Daily Telegraph that men should take care at Christmas celebrations and "let the lady dance around you".

They'd have said:

"If more men took care over their diet and exercised more, then there would be far less chance of a middle aged man dying from acute heart failure during mild exertion"

I do feel sorry for the guys family, but it's stories like this that made me completely rethink my lifestyle this year.

This may sound perhaps wrong but I feel that children aren't educated with enough scare factor regarding health issues like exercise and smoking.
I had one college teacher who told us all about the woodwork machinery and told us some very gruesome stories about what the machines could do if you used them incorrectly - those sort of things make you think and I encourage as much of it as possible.
