Man arrested for allegedly killing co-worker by forcing compressed air up his buttock

[vailpass]

In case you needed any more evidence that the Japanese are some very odd ducks...

Japanese authorities arrested a man Saturday after another person died when he allegedly shot compressed air into their rectum as a prank.

Yoshiyuki Yoshida, 34, was arrested for the accidental killing of Akio Ishimaru, 46, according to Ibaraki Prefecture Ryugasaki police.

The incident took place at an Ibaraki Tsukuba City manufacturing plant on July 13, according to the Asia Times. The two were apparently fooling around on their break when Yoshida took the air compressor and injected a blast of air in between Ishimaru’s buttocks, the news site reported.

Ishimaur began to feel ill minutes after the prank and was taken to the hospital where he later died. Yoshida reportedly admitted to committing the crime.

“It was a tragic accident but not the first of its kind,” police said in a statement. “The air compressor was pushed up against the anus, over clothing, not directly into the cavity, and the release of the air into the body probably damaged the lungs, causing death. We are waiting for the results of an autopsy, which is still being scheduled.”

An incident of this nature isn’t exactly unheard of in Japan.

Two men working at a waste disposal factory accidentally killed their co-worker after poking him in the buttocks with an air compressor in December 2017, the Asia Times reported. Both were reportedly arrested on assault charges.

A Kyoto student died on Jan. 1 after being poked in the rear with an air-duster blower.

Japan’s Self-Defense Forces have also been a culprit of the prank. Air compressor-inflicted injuries have sent several to the hospital with serious wounds.

I guess someone could get thrown out a window if a prank went wrong at my place, but a lot of things would have to go wrong.

Yeah, worst case scenario around the shop is death.

War is over. We are packed up and convoying out of Iraq and back to our original base camp in Saudi Arabia. It took over a week to get back due to the logistics of moving so much equipment out of there. We sat for days sometimes waiting for a movement order.

Anyways, on the last day of driving, less than 20 miles from our camp. Two trucks in our convoy are playing around, trying to pass each other, and one of them loses control and crashes. The truck that crashed had two girls in it, best friends. Driver survived, but the passenger was crushed and killed instantly. That's messed up. Imagine you are that girls parents. Losing their child in a war, only to find out later she died a couple weeks after the war while playing grab ass on the highway.

While underway, a friend and I almost threw each other into the Suez Canal while horsing around. It would have been a really stupid way to get injured or killed. I am kind of surprised that I made it past 25 years old when I look back.
