I read the claim that the total weight of the air above my (or rather: the average adult human's) body equals that of two elephants.
Now I am pretty sure that if two elephants would stand atop of me, I would get crushed. But does the above mean that this crushing is due to the combined weight of air and elephants (net 4 elephants) and that if two elephants would stand on me in a vacuum I would be perfectly fine?
Just to be on the safe side I thought I check it with the users of this site before trying it out.
