I don"t think so-you are talking about a diver getting the "bends"- from rising from ocean depths too fast. Deeper depths, certainly nothing like being in a grain bin. That being said, excessive pressure on body parts can have a mortal effect- saw that overseas on a fellow paratrooper in 1967, when a jumper hit the trees, got hung up in them, he tried to get down, was hung up on his water wings. (We wore them on every jump since we jumped by a water hazard) His body circulation was restricted by straps on his equipment- the water wings, (lifesaver packs) and when we cut him out of the trees, after he hung there for 1 1/2 hours, his kidneys were overloaded by the built-up fluids. Army sent him back to the States, to Walter Reed hosp in DC, where he died 4 days later. I had 22 jumps out of a perfectly good aircraft (everyone can, or should, jump from one that is about to crash)- that is any paratroopers normal terminology. Had only one incident in all those jumps- standing on the top of another parachute, 800 feet off the ground, and training kicks in...know that you have 3-4 seconds to decide , do you walk off the front, or the back , of HIS, before YOURS collapses!....apparently made the right choice- I"m still here.
