WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- A New Zealand truck driver said he blew up like a balloon when he fell onto the fitting of a compressed air hose that pierced his buttock and forced air into his body at 100 pounds a square inch.
Steven McCormack was standing on his truck's foot plate Saturday when he slipped and fell, breaking a compressed air hose off an air reservoir that powered the truck's brakes.

I read a safety brief about a worker “goosing” his co-worker with an air hose.
It ruptured his intestines.
If you’ve ever had a bad case of “gas” or a barium enema, you can imagine the horrible pain before he died.

I read a safety brief about a worker “goosing” his co-worker with an air hose. It ruptured his intestines. If you’ve ever had a bad case of “gas” or a barium enema, you can imagine the horrible pain before he died. This happened to a kid in a shop class in a HS somewhere in the east when I was in HS(grad 1959). Our shop teacher used the info to hammer home a safety message to all the pranksters in our shop classes, some of whom liked to stick an air hose up your butt and squeeze the trigger. After that one accident no one in our school ever did it again, for one thing the goosee immediately turned and decked the guy with the air hose after that, stopped that crap in it's tracks!
