  9. Compressed air is extremely forceful – if dead ended against the skin, this can lead to air entering the body, resulting in soft tissue damage or an embolism (air bubble in the bloodstream). Compressed air can also rupture internal organs if introduced to a body cavity, such as a nostril or ear.
