We have photos from Violet in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and Harry Potter's Aunt Marge. Is that close enough?

My first thought was ....well, lets just say I didn't think it was an accident.

While working on Saturday, Steven McCormack slipped between the cab and the trailer of his truck and was impaled in the thigh by a high-pressure air cylinder which saw his body pumped full of compressed air. The 48-year-old Bay of Plenty truckie told the Whakatane Beacon he felt as if he was going to explode and began to scream as his neck, feet and hands swelled up.

Watch for this to become a new and popular part of the San Francisco personal entertainment culture.

PETA would be on the case in a second, if so.

A guy I worked with used an air gun to blow saw dust off his hand, before the reduced pressure guns came into use. He had a cut, and his hand blew up like a balloon. Had to have his hand lanced at the emergency room.
