Spoils

The Myth: If you're in an old style diving suit with the big helmet and the airhose and your airline is cut, you'll be pushed up into the helmet by the pressure from the water when the interior pressure offsetting it disappears.

They built a human analog, by wrapping a human skeleton with pig meat still in the skin, stuffed the chest cavity with organs and blood.

The put the HA in the suit and dropped it to 300 ft below the surface and simulated the airline being cut.

Result: A LOT of the body ended up in the helmet.
