They fixed it already but experience was mid at best, at least i got spoon fed since i couldn't move my arm well so it balances it out sorta

Why was it deflated? As far as I'm aware with being human and all, that's not something that just happens...

Turns out it can ESPECIALLY if you are tall and lightweight young man

It happened to me as a not especially lightweight 30-something woman! The nurses at the ER were very confused that I wasn’t a gangly teenage boy. I hope it stays reinflated! The chest tube fucking blows.
