Anyone familiar with that show on SPIKE? They show people who, in unusual ways, remove themselves from the gene pool. Then they recap with a sometimes clever/humorous tag line.
Last night I was watching it (one of those train wreck compulsions) and they had a woman on who had gotten bent. It seems she made it to the chamber and was decompressing when a maintenance man suddenly opened the door causing instant decompression and she, according to the show, exploded.
I thought I saw a few inconsistencies. First of all they said she was diving at 300 feet then due to a "tank failure" rushed up to the surface, then to a deco chamber. 300 feet? I'll be the first to admit I have a lot to learn, but I thought 300 feet was beyond SCUBA.
The second thing, I thought hyperbolic chambers were impossible to open when pressurized (like trying to remove your first stage with the tank pressurized and the valve open).
