It would have to at those pressures.

But never underestimate human ability to bypass foolproof systems. I think it was and incarnation of one of the OSHA threads that had the "rapid decompression event" for a bunch of divers. That was another "injuries incompatible with life" kind of event.

Was that the one where they found chunks of one of those poor bastards like fifty feet up in the scaffolding?

Uncountable GO 'MERICA ads using either "Born in the USA" or "Fortunate Son" (opening line being "some folks are born, made to wave the flag, ooh that red-white-and-blue")

The second line "and when the band plays Hail to the Chief, they point the cannon at you" somehow never gets played.

I read an article somewhere about that poor kid who died on the waterslide. If I remember it right he was indeed the son of a lawmaker, and the lawmaker had fought hard to prevent government safety regulations and oversight that would likely have prevented the tragedy.

In a way I hope that's not the case because that's just the worst "poetic justice." Nobody should have to bury their child.

He was perfectly happy to let other peoples' kids die on deregulated deathtraps.
