A 16-year old boy in the Spanish town of Jaén is on intensive care after he and 2 friends decided that it was a brilliant idea to use a compressor used to inflate truck tires in the workshop belonging to the father of one of the involved to introduce compressed air through the victim's anus.

The victim entered the hospital suffering from peritonitis after being hit with the highly-pressurized air burst, doctors then had to extirpate his spleen and part of his intestines, plus one kidney and the liver were compromised also.

According to the doctors the boy spent the night stable and without fever, but also without hope.

And that's why you don't try and use anything other than beans or broccoli to create the ultimate fart kids.

He's old enough, and I can only wonder why he did this. Truck tires are usually inflated to a minimum of 50 PSI (probably much more). The bit about having "spent the night stable and without fever, but also without hope" is interesting. Perhaps we can ALL learn from this next time we contemplate doing something so obviously stupid!
