WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A New Zealand truck driver said he blew like a balloon when he fell on the erection of a compressed air hose which pierced his buttocks and air in his 100-pound body forced a square inch.
Steven McCormack stood on the foot plate truck Saturday, when he slipped and fell, breaking a compressed air hose a reservoir of air powered brakes of the truck.
He fell hard on the brass fitting, pierced his left buttock, which began pumping air into his body.
