Is that enough pressure differential to injure you? Get stuck yes but 6.5 PSI doesn't seem that crazy.

    Actually maybe. Imagine you got your back stuck on a 1 ft diameter pipe. That's 735 lbs pushing on you.

    Add the in the weight and speed of the water already moving through the pipe and the pressure on the other side becomes hugely negative.

    You're going in that pipe.

    Rip to your homogenate or whatever, but I would simply avoid the pipe 😏

    I wanted to respond with a funny delta P crab video, but if you search delta P on YouTube now you get a ton of AI generated shit, including a video where a guy sticks his have in a hole and it comes out with 6 fingers.

    They’re all like 2 months old.

    I don’t know why Google did this to themselves.

    My understanding is, this is a very common cause of death among divers. The pressure doesn't kill you, but it gets you stuck long enough that you suffocate. Because even if safety teams are notified immediately, getting you out is difficult enough that they might not be able to get you out in time before you die
