are you sure about your assumption? the volume that can be stored in the GI track is considerable.The stomach of the average adult can hold 2 liters of fluid. The large intestine in a adult has enough room to store over 2 ft3 of material. If you took any AnP courses you would know that.

This incident was on the ground but in a pressurized capsule the outcome would be different.

as for your last sentence, you are the one that needs to lay off the sci-fi movies. A little google search would go along way so you dont insert your toes/foot/ankle/shin/knee/ thigh in your mouth with a healthy dose of crow.
