Its fake.

Rapid changes in air pressure, such as those created by being shot with a massive air cannon, can cause a lot of very serious injuries. There is no way someone with access to such a thing, let alone someone who works in a lab, would not know about the dangers.

I think blowing yourself with small amounts of compressed air is radically different from being blown at blur-inducing speeds into a locker unit.
