2.3. Physiological Consequences of High Compression
Operating manuals for high-pressure machinery frequently warn of crushing hazards and the need for strict safety protocols to prevent lethal accidents. Lethal Pressure Crush 81
: Myoglobin released from muscles "clogs" the kidneys, potentially leading to renal failure. Metabolic Abnormalities Lethal Pressure Crush 81
: The hydraulic fluid reached temperatures and pressures that altered its physical properties, causing seals to melt before the final breach. Lethal Pressure Crush 81
