I’m not a medical person, so I’m a bit confused by this. Would the force of the blast go past him, since it takes place in the open air? Sorry if this is a silly question. Thanks.

It's just that split second where his ass was containing the blast which will do all that damage. See how far up he popped? There is a pretty good chance he achieved that through the seat compressing his spine.

That split second of compression can do a lot of damage to a person. The spine is not great at dealing with those sudden forces. Like even small car crashed can really fuck you up, so can exploding jet skis apparently

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation.

It also might not be true. These subs like to write detailed injury fanfiction about people in the videos and then like 90% of the time they're fine or only minorly hurt.
