Real Life Inflation

shadowfox586 · 05-25-2011

Inflation and body expansion arent my thing, but figured someone in here might be interested to know about this story.

Man had compressed air at 100 PSI pumped into his body and he ?blew up like a football?.

"Steven McCormack was standing on the plate between the cab of his truck and semi-trailer at Waiotahi Contractors on Saturday when his foot slipped.

As he fell, he broke the hose off a brass nipple connected to the compressed air reservoir powering the truck?s brakes, and the nipple pierced the flesh of his left buttock.

As the air, compressed to 100 pounds per square inch, rushed into Mr McCormack?s body he said he felt like he was diving and had the bends.

?I felt the air and I felt like it was going to explode from my foot,? he said.

?I had no choice but just to lay there, blowing up like a balloon.?

Mr McCormack?s workmates heard him screaming, said company co-owner Robbie Petersen, and quickly released the air container?s safety valve to stop the flow."
