Being a lung doctor he thought it was hot stuff. I thought it was interesting. Not trying to stop anyone from buying subs... Noppen said he and his colleagues suspect that loud music may damage the lungs due to its booming bass frequency, which can be felt as a vibration going through the body. The lungs may essentially start to vibrate in the same frequency as the bass, which could cause a lung to rupture. http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,64829,00.html |

You'd drown long before you died of Pneumothorax. Also, if you look at at the statistics, pneumothorax is not all that rare. It spontaneously happens to 7.4 in 100,000 people. Compare that to the 1 in 4 people will go to a concert every year and you'll see it's not suprising. http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic470.htm http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/0/935a3267cf3d1f30ca256dea0005395d?OpenDocument |
