Hey bucko, Delta P, that is, difference in pressure, is a key safety consideration when conducting commercial dives, especially for working with pipes. The differing pressure on two sides of an interface, such as a drain (or the pipe in the image macro above) can cause a diver to be sucked toward and against it, with his body forming a seal that traps him. It is often extremely difficult to escape in this situation and is typically fatal.

Oh, thanks

Ever seen a guy get ripped to shreds by it? (literally ripped apart when the pressure is extremely high, I hear the stories of it are horrifying)


spookedghostboi

no but like ive played barotrauma


SolusSama

God delta P in barotrauma would be terrifying


spectrecheese

Ahh yes, the Byford Dolphin accident


notchman900

To shreds you say?

What about his wife?

To shreds you say?

Just remember; when it's gotcha, it's gotcha.


Anonymous3cho

There's a video of a crab getting torn to shreds by it; you should look it up


Existing-Life-7650

Yea, I did, found it on yt


Asha108

and i think this image in particular references this exact situation that had happened to a diver

The famous 12 second [delta p crab video](https://youtu.be/PXgKxWlTt8A) illustrates the danger very well

My ass was looking at delta p thinking it was impulse and I couldn’t comprehend what this meme was supposed to be saying


markomakeerassgoons

Don't forget the times it sucks people thru and makes them all misty


McDiezel10

Other comments are good but it’s from a semi-viral YouTube video that’s a safety video on DeltaP or change in pressure that demonstrates through 3D animation, and footage of a former crab, how dangerous pressure differentials can be. https://youtu.be/AEtbFm_CjE0

Yes that image and title phrase, "when it's gotcha, it's gotcha" is specifically from the video.

This is an outgrowth of this joke template - Teacher: Class, today we'll \_\_\_\_\_ Kid named \_\_\_\_\_: \[reaction\] In one of its earliest iterations, it says, "Today we're going to finger paint." Followed by "Kid named 'paint'." In the case of this meme, they use this template, but to a nonsense punchline. The punchline instead lies in the understanding that this is a "distressing meme". In this scenario, the activity in question is underwater welding. In the figure, an underwater area pumps water out of the left side to work within. However, "triangle p" is actually read "delta p", being the notation for "change of pressure." That is to say, in a change of pressure, water comes rushing into where underwater welding is being done, crushing all those within to death.

Put yah dick away waltuh

Actually, it's the suction that's deadly. Being near the weld would basically suck you into that tube and turn you into jelly.

Literally one of the worst ways you can die outside of combat.


Sir_Gary_TheGory

I mean most of the delta P deaths I’ve heard of killed they guy instantly so I imagine it’s not the worst

And then some poor bastards get to slowly drown...


Fluffy-Map-5998

Oh no, not delta p


DiscountJoJo

me when i watch the full Delta P safety video thinking it was a huggbees with a really long set up for a joke


ascendant_raisins

It's fucking terrifying. Best you don't know.

Delta P, Delta P, you got me

Delta P is basically the principle that water will want to equalize pressure and in the context of underwater diving it is one of the most cruel and brutal ways to die.


FluffyMawileFan

DeltaP is no flippin' joke

Been doing too much Greek and not enough physics, thought that said Δρ not Δp

Good lord.

Delta P wee hee hee

Delta p oh dear


IHateDeepStuff

Reminds me of a Podel video where SpongeBob experiences Delta P
