Trucker Blows Up Like Balloon

A  truck driver said he blew up like a balloon when he tripped and fell onto an active compressed air hose.  The fitting pierced his buttock forcing air into his body at 100 psi.

Steven McCormack of Whakatane, New Zealand said, 'I felt the air rush into my body and I felt like it was going to explode from my foot, I was blowing up like a football...I had no choice but just to lay there, blowing up like a balloon.'


OSHA says new bi-lingual labels will be forced onto manufacturers.  'Warning: Do Not Sit On, Mount Or Otherwise Insert, Place, Or Position Air Hose Near Or Proximal To Any Orifice, Opening Or Entry Way Anywhere, At Any Time On Your Person.'
