Re: is underwater CPR a deathwish?

indeed, im not very sharp on my terminology here, but basicly pumping air into there lungs to get it going sorta. you might do at at depth because mabye they wont make it to the surface, and if they had a BO then they wont hav seewater in their throat. but how come lungs can rupture before the larynx or eppiglotis fails? would freedivers be more susceptible to this seeing as w work on those more to make them stronger? and say i was to breath compressed air at 10 feet, then go up. unlikely i would rupture a lung(i think) but could it make my lungs more resistant?
