How would the unprotected human body react to the vacuum of outer space? ... The reason that a human does not burst is that our skin has some strength. For instance compressed oxygen in a steel tank may be at several hundreds times the pressure of the air outside and the strength of the steel keeps the cylinder from breaking.

The level of the water in the tube would correspond to the atmospheric pressure and would equal 10.33m. Therefore, at sea level air exerts a pressure of 1033g/cm2. Having in mind that the total area of the human body is 17,000–18,000cm2, it can be calculated that atmospheric air exerts upon us a pressure of 17 to...
