    Those chambers are normally only done around 2 or 2.5 atmosphere, 3 tops. Not enough to kill anyone if it cracked. A small pop and rushing sound at most depending on the crack size.

      Injury can occur at pressures as low as 2 psig (13.8 kPa) if a person is rapidly decompressed.

      That’s around 0.15 kilo or Bar. That’s astonishingly low.
