Human Balloon?

I always wondered if humans could be blown up like balloons ? Not that I'm some kind of freak thinking of new ways to kill people but just out of sheer curiosity . Finally i got my answer after reading this article on Yahoo.

Humans can actually be blown up if you maintain the right air-pressure. Here's the article :

Compressed air turns NZ trucker into human balloon

 

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – 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.
He fell hard onto the brass fitting, which pierced his left buttock and started pumping air into his body.
"I felt the air rush into my body and I felt like it was going to explode from my foot," he told local media from his hospital bed in the town of Whakatane, on North Island's east coast.
"I was blowing up like a football," he said. "I had no choice but just to lay there, blowing up like a balloon."
McCormack's workmates heard his screams and ran to him, quickly releasing a safety valve to stop the air flow, said Robbie Petersen, co-owner of the trucking company.
He was rushed to the hospital with terrible swelling and fluid in one lung. Doctors said the air had separated fat from muscle in McCormack's body, but had not entered his bloodstream.
McCormack, 48, said his skin felt "like a pork roast" — crackling on the outside but soft underneath.

  3. Acne and pimples happen because of internal dis-balance in the body due to more than normal amount of some chemicals.
    These harmful toxins then foil with the different glands of the body resulting in too much formation of certain kinds
    of hormones that causes impurity of blood. You may have
    heard regarding the impurity stuff about blood in many illness.
    Have you ever wondered what exactly is this. It is the excessive quantity of chemicals in the
    blood as compared to common which lead to different type of issues in the body.
    Acne are one of these.
