I remember a myth busters episode where they stopped pumping air into the suit from above, simulating a pump failure. Inside the suit they had a large pig carcass arranged in a human pattern. The entire pig carcass bones and all compressed into the helmet in about ten seconds.
Everyone was horrified at what can happen.

I had to look that up ... It's a more traditional, pressurized diving helmet system ... but ... when they cut the hose ...
Dang ...
That's really nasty.

I believe in early deep sea and salvage diving what you described was known as 'the squeeze.'

I saw that one- it was one of the more amazing Mythbusters episodes!
