The biggest problem is he’s engineering in Imperial instead of SI units.
Wtf is a psi
Muricas version of pressure.
Wouldn’t this human in theory become a crumpled sausage like what happened to the crab by the leaking underwater pipe?
Not at 15 feet. I don’t know enough to say how fast the water would be leaving that hole, but it’s maybe a couple hundred pounds of pressure. If he even got caught, it would be super uncomfortable, but he ain’t about to get ∆p’d
If you wanna see a real crab-in-a-pipe situation, look up that Byford Dolphin everyone’s talking about

Fuck all of this
Fuck all of this
Normally when people say this it is at least a bit of an exageration, but not in this case. That is some straight up nightmare fuel.
Heres a taster for those of you who don’t want to read the whole thing.
…bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in fragmentation of his body, followed by expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen…
Am I reading the right article? I read the entire wiki article linked above and, quite honestly, the part you’ve quoted here is the only piece that even approaches being gruesome, and is very medically sanitized. What are people referring to when they say that the descriptions made them want to vomit and all this stuff?
I’m unfamiliar with fluid dynamics. How intense would the Delta p problem be in this situation?
Soup like homogenate
Investigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent-shaped opening measuring 60 centimetres (24 in) long created by the jammed interior trunk door. With the escaping air and pressure, gross dismemberment ensued; it included bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in fragmentation of his body, followed by expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine, and of the thoracic spine. These were projected some distance from the bell, with one section being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.
Soup indeed.
