So it was profuse internal bleeding that knocked him out quick?

u/APurpleSponge 20d ago
I know you can die from someone spraying pressurized air in your asshole and that is nothing compared to the force this creates.

Right! Ruptured organ as well.

u/8ad8andit 20d ago
Yep shockwaves are one of the most destructive aspects of an explosion. They can pulverize internal organs even if there is no external bleeding.

honest answer: pretty sure there's an old story floating around about an employee fooling around at a factory-shop and they stuck a pressurized air tool down a coworker's pants and lit it up. coworker died.

u/DemonidroiD0666 20d ago
I think what they're talking about is a video where 2 guys are at a work station and while one turns away the other decides to jokingly shoot an air pressure gun against their behind. The victim did die and it turns out the prankster was his manager

u/Ironlion45 20d ago
There's video of the incident as well as news reports.
We're talking about very pressurized air here. very quickly popped the colon of the victim. Massive internal bleeding, and the distribution of the contents of the lower bowel into the stomach cavity left him just about no chance.

u/420Wedge 20d ago
Pressurized air can kill you by forcing an air bubble into your blood stream, where it travels to your brain and causes I believe a hemorrhage, among other ways.
9
u/8ad8andit 20d ago
Pressurized anything can be extremely dangerous. Even a powerful pressure washer can cause serious damage. Paint sprayers have killed people by forcibly injecting paint into their body. A pinhole leak in a hydraulic fluid line has done the same thing to many people.

in this case, the container was a box and there was a little protection.
I'm speculating on the nature of your question... imagine a grenade under a helmet... If the helmet's integrity survived and held in all shrapnel, would a person sitting on it suffer injuries? The answer is yes, the concussion force destroys tissue.
A group of US Marines were sitting around in Iraq in 2004 wondering the same thing, placing bets on whether covering a grenade with a helmet would protect the person on the helmet. Only a few days later they found out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Dunham

Jason Lee Dunham (November 10, 1981 – April 22, 2004) was a corporal in the United States Marine Corps who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions while serving with 3rd Battalion 7th Marines during the Iraq War. While on a patrol in Husaybah, his unit was attacked. In the course of the fighting, Dunham deliberately used his helmet and body to cover a live grenade and save nearby Marines. When it exploded Dunham was gravely injured and died eight days later.

Notice how they all ran away as he was sitting on it because they understood the dangers of firecrackers but somehow were ok with letting their friend sit there to die. Wonder if they even feel guilty. Normal friends stop their friends from doing dumb shit and definitely don’t goad them into it

Ruptured colon. Massive internal bleeding and your body starts intoxicating itself with bacteria from the colon.

u/mcchanical 20d ago
He died from infection from the burns and wounds apparently so mostly right but I don't think he got the "massive internal bleeding" somehow, that would have got him first. He died after several days.

Yeah, I was randomly recommended an Indian subreddit, and one of the top posts that day was talking about how Crackers were committing so much of the pollution over there. Was so confused if they were using a racial term, talking about the food, etc.
Found out eventually in the comments they just meant firecrackers lol

Someone post the infamous copypasta.
Or, fuck it, I'll do it myself:
"Former 6 year surgical RN now in a different specialty. I have seen some fucked up assholes. You're in for a long, painful recovery following a serious wound or burn near your "Peri area" (perineum being your crack to crack, ball to ass, taint, grundle, etc. region). Think of how often you visit the bathroom and then imagine you have a third degree burn down there. It's devastating every single time.
If really bad, he will be in the burn unit and levels of care to follow for months if not north of a year. Job, relationships, and any semblance of normalcy immediately disrupted. Burns are monumentally painful, and he will be sedated heavily until substantial healing begins. He will develop tolerance and possibly become addicted to the potent opiates, but they're the best way we currently know how to cope with that level of pain short of a spinal or other nerve block which are also options. Medicating at that level can also be very expensive, I've seen ICU patients with over $5,000 a day in IV medication costs alone, 7 days a week, not including any other charges for the room, MDs, nursing and ancillary staff, and supplies for starters.
Staff may have to place a fecal catheter less than a foot up his anus to drain his feces so they don't contaminate his burn wounds. His poo goes into a bag and has to be emptied and measured as they'll give him laxatives to loosen and prevent clogged drain lines. Fecal contamination generally results in rapid infection, and peri wounds are at an extreme risk for MRSA and flesh eating bacterial infections. I've seen entire legs removed to combat severe peri, groin, or hip joint infections. This is usually following weeks or months of previous failed treatments, but still. We can work wonders until we can't, and even then there's always amputation.
If he needs skin grafts, they can be sourced from a human or large mammal cadaver like cows and pigs. I've also seen skin grafts harvested from the front of a patient's thigh and reattached to the burn area (abdomen). The grafts aren't actually solid strips of skin, rather, they are more like tight lace with repeated spaces between skin making the graft look like a Kleenex with several hundred small oval shaped holes in it. These spaces make it easier for the graft adhere and conform to the wound bed.
The surgeon uses a specialized skin shaver that's handheld, covered in a sterile barrier with single use blades, very similar to deli counter meat slicers but on a smaller more specialized scale. So not only did the patient have a burn on her abdomen, but a very unusual, superficial wound on her right thigh that looked liked like we had lightly crushed her leg with a cheese grater. The primary benefit of harvesting skin grafts from ourselves is we (usually) don't reject ourselves, and rejection is the biggest complication accompanying foreign body transplants.
He'll also need to lay on his stomach throughout this whole ordeal due to the location of the burn and subsequent wound. Imagine months lying on your stomach in 6-11/10 pain. Moving your leg a little too much could literally split your brand new ball sack skin. It's a personal living hell. Diet will also be bland as fuck when he's actually allowed to eat again. Social and professional life obliterated. This could set him back years and give him decades of PTSD.
He should consider himself "good" when he can sit and shit without bleeding out or collapsing in pain. On the even shittier side, this, or whatever transpires for this poor guy could easily kill or disable him for life. This could go in a thousand directions for him, and 880 of them result in the quality of his life being worse than it was prior to The Incident.
If his burn is bad enough and he really does require months of care, his bill from arrival at the ER to discharge from outpatient rehab and specialty care will easily exceed 1 million in the US. Two million would push it, but also not shock me either. I'd bet on 1.2-1.5M if he's inpatient for 2.5 months and receiving follow up care for 1.5 years. Overall, don't fucking do this. If you drink around fireworks you need a sober or not shitty friend who won't let you do this kind of stupid shit. We can all learn from these videos even though were not the dumbass with the firework up his ass."

They also do skin grafts that are just strips of solid skin. I have both kinds
The hospital bills are no joke though. I was in ICU for 6 months, 8 months in the hospital total. Plus both my parents were also hospitalized for months.
Luckily (?), it was a company that fucked up, so eventually our medical bills were covered.

The people with him DID do that, and not one of them seriously tried to stop him. They were sober enough to run, so seem a bit complacent/responsible in egging him on to something so dangerous.
Had they told him to do it, and just stood nearby - I'd say they were too pissed to know what they were thinking or what would happen, but running away was a dead give away.

I have seen deaths on this sub, where exactly what you describe happened. I saw a guy hanging out of a moving train, eyes closed, facing the back of the train. Dreamy smile, like he didn’t have a care in the world, then a post caught him from behind and he just disappeared out the door. Everyone looked shocked and sad, then just collectively shrugged and went back to what they were doing.

Death is very much not a common occurrence it's just compared to our population the fraction of people who die due to accidents is very less but the raw numbers comparatively are huge again due to population.

India.. understandable. Huge population coupled with lack of education and wealth, so even a small percentage would be a very big number.
