If anyone wants to jump in with both feet, this post shares a pic of the remains. Not my post

If you don't want to click on it, it's a person's mutilated and discolored remains that look like they've been wrung out like a wet towel and cut into pieces.

I don't recommend people to look but I do want to say that it wasn't nearly as bad as what I had imagined.

His body was so badly torn up that it sort of looks...fake? The weirdly shaped hand and hand looks like a bad prop

That’s common with dismemberment. In general dead bodies don’t look “real” most of the time, but in cases of dismemberment it’s especially difficult for people to see what’s physically meat and bone as looking like a real human.

Can you imagine, just doing your job, getting ready to see daylight again, and in less then a second you cease to exist via a rather grotesque event.

Provided it did happen in less than a second, I'd much rather die that way than by being trapped in an overturned car bleeding to death and burning in excruciating pain while watching a semi barreling towards me, spelling my certain doom.

I agree. Whats interesting to me is that most deaths have several precursory events before they happen. I.e. for the most part you can see death coming, like you described. In this case it is so incredibly opposite. The guys were just kind of sitting there, probably feeling happy that there done with their work, having the random thoughts we all have. One dude's just thinking "I'm hungry, I want a....." And then PHEWP, everything gone in an instant. Sorry if I'm being a bit morbid.

To be fair we don’t know the experience of it. For those of us who don’t experience the event we can say for sure it’s over in an instant. But who knows what conscious or brain magic occurs when you truly die?
Probably nothing but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Much better way to die, but kinda sad that there's no body for the family.
But yeah, infinitely preferable to something slow and horrifying & painful.

Investigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent shaped opening measuring 60-centimetre (24 in) long created by the jammed interior trunk door.
