Sucker generates a lot of splash back…like an out-of-control bidet! Messy.
I hope everyone enjoys this story as much as I did:
Related to that, I recall a story in Reader’s Digest from many years ago. Something about an undersea lab that used a vacuum toilet. One of the researchers there set up a tight seal between himself and the toilet seat and – voilà – sayonara intestines (or a portion thereof). He lived (not in a party animal way though).

"Magnificent steel toilet flushes forty golf balls with ease" … and that’s terrible.

Its interesting that it could happen because the Mythbusters had tried to replicate it back in the day and i don’t recall that they were able to get those kinds of results. I guess the solution for heavier set people is don’t flush while still sitting on the toilet.

I’d think that said injury could only happen if the seat was integral with the bowl; no chance of air breaking the vacuum other than between the seat and the user.

Wow. I was trying to wrap my head around the fact that the small intestines were pulled out - instead of the large intestine (colon) which is closer to the, ahem, ‘exit’. Then I found this:
Box 1 in the article shows the lengths of small intestine that they had to resect. Ouch.
