Air compression machine blows up man’s butt “like a balloon”

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

There are few things as appealing to me as evoking the thought of penetrated buttocks and being filled up with foreign substances as a result, but that’s what happened to a New Zealand trucker, turning him into the equivalent of a human balloon.

As he continued his fall, he dropped onto the hose’s brass fitting, piercing his ass cheek in the process.

The hose then filled up his body with 100 pounds of air pressure per square inch, leaving McCormack feeling “like a football.”

“I had no choice but just to lay there, blowing up like a balloon,” McCormack told local New Zealand news outlets.

Doctors said that the air separated fat from muscle in his body but, fortunately, did not enter his bloodstream. McCormack is currently in stable condition.

So…that doesn’t sound pleasant. In fact, of all the things that could fill up my butt, I think highly pressurized air would be among the bottom ten. Even a Super Soaker full of AIDS wouldn’t lead to as immediate of a painful demise. Then again, a cannon filled with piranhas would probably be even worse. Toxic sludge would also be unpleasant.

…this is not the way I usually like to imagine things penetrating my derrière at this point in the morning.
