And this can happen with modern day surface supplied diving too. Except a km 27 (industry standard commercial diving hat) is not a free flow hat such as this. It's a demand hat. Meaning it has a regulator so it doesn't give you air unless you take a breath. So when this happens in a Kirby.... It's much
More gruesome. Your lips, tung, teath, eyes, nose, and eventually your skull will be sucked through the regulator (a hole that's 1/2" in diameter).

The reason he is getting sucked into the helmut is because thats were the umbilical plugs into the hat. The suction is not from the ambient water pressure around the suit it is coming from a massive vacuum being generated in the air line. This is why we use check valves.

You guys are retarded. I'm a commercial diver. What is happening is called a "delta p". This happens when the check valve ( a valve that only let's air flow one way) fails and the umbilical (air hose) gets severed at the surface or shallower than the diver. When this happens it creates a massive vacuum in the air line. This is how the "check" valve got it's name. Cause it's the most important valve to check lol

@GigiTorpila actually the mortality rate was quite high back then!

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!!!
