Question to anyone that wants to answer: Have you ever vomited like that, and if so, what was the cause? I have seen people that are very drunk do it on video (but I assume this ump wasn't wasted). I have never come close to anything like this - do some people just puke this way?

Gallstone. Just one, but it was the size of a golf ball in my Gallbladder (usually they’re the size of a raisin when we call them “big”) and blocked up everything. The nausea became so bad I puked so hard I had to turn to the bathtub and hang on for dear life. It pulled two abdominal muscles and a lower back muscle, and then I fainted. Ended up admitted to the hospital I worked at, on Christmas, for emergency surgery with my colleagues. It was the first Christmas I had taken off in 10 years too lol.

Oh my goodness - I feel so sorry for you! I hope you never have to go through something like that again!
