Man Turns Into "Human Balloon" After Falling On Air Hose

A truck driver from New Zealand said he felt “like a pork roast” as a compressed air hose pierced his buttock, forcing 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.

The air hose broke off the air reservoir that powered the truck’s brakes, and when McCormack fell onto it, it began pumping air into his body.

He said he had no choice but to lie on the ground, “blowing up like a balloon.”

Sadly it appears McCormack has had a string of bad luck when only 6 weeks ago he went to the emergency room after falling on a miller long neck and landed in the same region and then it was only a year ago that a wild gerbel ran under the covers of his bed and,,,,well you guessed it.
