Sucking chest wounds and flying A sucking chest wound, that is a wound on the chest that allows air to come in the chest (not the lungs) but does not allow air to come out of it leading to heart failure and death, is that more dangerous while flying that even a normal chest with a small (inner) wound at ground level can evolve to a sucking chest wound in high altitudes... Pressure chambers of modern aircraft are no guarantee for a safe flight!

Bad luck's coming next week I guess...
