	In every documented case of this happening (I've read of at least 10)
the woman has been pregnant. Pregnancy increases the permeability of the
vagina/uterus and so the air emboli travel very fast. Why this has never
been made absolutely clear to the general public, I don't know, but it's
incredibly dangerous.
