My understanding is, this is a very common cause of death among divers. The pressure doesn’t kill you, but it gets you stuck long enough that you suffocate. Because even if safety teams are notified immediately, getting you out is difficult enough that they might not be able to get you out in time before you die
I wanted to respond with a funny delta P crab video, but if you search delta P on YouTube now you get a ton of AI generated shit, including a video where a guy sticks his have in a hole and it comes out with 6 fingers.
Is that enough pressure differential to injure you? Get stuck yes but 6.5 PSI doesn’t seem that crazy.

Actually maybe. Imagine you got your back stuck on a 1 ft diameter pipe. That’s 735 lbs pushing on you.
Add the in the weight and speed of the water already moving through the pipe and the pressure on the other side becomes hugely negative.
You’re going in that pipe.
But I don’t want to go in the pipe
Shh, it’s easiest if you just go with it.
That hole may not have been made for you, but you WILL fit.
That’s what she said…
You’re still getting piped buddy
Rip to your homogenate or whatever, but I would simply avoid the pipe 😏

They’re all like 2 months old.
I don’t know why Google did this to themselves.
Found it for you! It’s as frightening as the first time I saw it…
Edit: Just saw that someone linked it further down three hours ago…
Here ya go. Not so much funny as sad.

He was on the pipe. Instead I would avoid the pipe.
You really don’t
Get in the pipe, Shinji.
It depends on the actual cross sectional area of the space.
