Ways you wouldn't necessarily want to die

The post about how you would like to die reminded me of reading about the Byford Dolphin oil rig incident in 1983. And I quote:

Investigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent-shaped opening measuring 60 centimetres (24 in) long created by the jammed interior trunk door. With the escaping air and pressure, it included bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in fragmentation of his body, followed by expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine, and of the thoracic spine. These were projected some distance, one section being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

I'm sure it was quick but yeah, wow 😬

Hmm... That reminds of an imploding submersible...
