How did fly spray make a spider's legs fall off?

I sprayed a spider that was clinging to the ceiling with a can of fly spray and left the room. When I came back it was writhing around on top of the toilet with its legs scattered around it.

How did this happen? Did it's legs just snap off when it fell from the ceiling and hit the toilet? Can fly spray make spiders' joints dissolve?

    The toxins in the can could have poison the spider and one of the effects could have been leg dis-function

    Oh yeah, and remember: Never under-estimate a spider, I'm not kidding

    positioned on a glove,carry the plant indoors the pot,inverted in a bowl of tepid water and sparkling off. The propellants used with kinfolk insecticide sprays can harm plant existence,the spray itself could scorch the foliage.
