I can see how this can happen. People don't realize how powerful compressed air is. They routinely work with it. They hear "50 pounds per sq.inch" or something like that our machinery can easily create and don't realize they can be literally torn apart by that. People need to take a pressure gauge and see how much pressure they can produce. It takes huge amounts of energy to create 50# compression of a significant volume of air - but that is so common place for us that it isn't respected much.
Our incredible technology is not respected and this type of thing gets played out in many ways.

While they do not mention it in the article, in all probability the colostomy will only be temporary.That explains why the compensation is so small. £4500 didn't seem like nearly enough for that kind of injury.

Announcer: Hold it! Is that what youre having for breakfast?
Man: Sure, haven't you heard? Fiber is really good for you.
Announcer: Well, there's fiber, and then there's high fiber. Try this.
[offstage hands replace cereal box with Colon Blow cereal box ]
Man: Hmm.. Colon Blow. Sounds delicious. But is it really higher in fiber than my oat bran cereal?
Announcer: Take a guess: How many bowls of your oat bran cereal would it take to equal the fiber content of one bowl of Colon Blow?
Man: Two?
Announcer: Guess again.
Man: Three?
Announcer: A little higher.
Man: Four?
Announcer: Keep trying.
Man: Five?
Announcer: No, you'll have to do better than that.
Man: Seven?
Announcer: Guess again.
Man: Eight?
Announcer: We'll give you one more guess.
Man: Nine.
Announcer: Not even close. [ table starts shaking ] It would take over 30,000 bowls. [ a giant pyramid of cereal bowls shoots up from under the man, who yells in terror as it rises ] To eat that much oat bran, you'd have to eat ten bowls a day, every day for eight and a half years.
Man: [ after the pyramid settles; shouts from afar ] Wow! I think I get the picture! Colon Blow must be the highest fiber cereal on the market!

As he was asleep, he felt a hand on his shoulder. That right there is your first indication something is not right.

Yep. The National Health Service will cover all his medical expenses, so that amount (about 7 grand American) is for him.

'He then felt an object being placed in his back passage Another Brit language usage when American English would be so much more......crude.:)
Kristofor went home for treatment because he didn't want his mum to be forced to travel north to see him in hospital.
Well, yes, no doubt he didn't want to have his dear old mum inspect his injured 'back passage' and try to tell her that it could have happened to anyone.....

'He then felt an object being placed in his back passage and he became aware of a loud hissing sound and the fire extinguisher being discharged.
'He was in immediate pain but didn't realise the extent of his pain until he got up to go to work and realised he was bleeding from his rectum.'
Are you telling me this wasn't such an outrageous and unexpected event that the victim simply overlooked it until the following morning?
I think he was expecting a 'bum' steer but got something a little different.
