MythBusters - Dumpster diving myth - Scuba Diver

The MythBusters should have known more about the diving. This is not a myth - this is an occurrence that happened many times. "Heavy" diver (equipped like in the clip) would stand on a platform for instance ten meters deep, cleaning the hull of a ship. Something would happen and he would fall to the bottom which is about 40 m down - so the pressure in the suit would go from 2 atm to 5 atm and since the helmet is not compressible the poor man would be completely squashed in the helmet. No help!!!

I wished they wood have took off the helment when they brot it up

[Greenwood4USA]

its very interesting to know that certain things like this but also knowing that this actually had to happen to a human for us to know the outcome is sobering, good thing the tech has eliminated that threat.

This was in a diving handbook i read. Old divers used to get buried in their helmets, after being crushed up into them.
