Answers: Would the water get sucked in? How would it affect their chances?
The water would go into the wound.
This would make things worse.
I think they lung would suck the water in and they might possibly drown
I PROMISE. YOU WOULDN'T BE WALKING AROUND WITH A SUCKING CHEST WOUND. YOU'D HAVE A CHEST TUBE. BUT IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A PNEUMO WITHOUT IT BEING OPEN. HYPOTHETICALLY, WATER WOULD GET SUCKED IN ON INHALATION AND THEY'D DIE. CAN'T OXYGENATE WET LUNGS.
