raggiejack and all,

Honestly, I do not know if it is theoretically possible. I just know it is not an injury pattern that is seen/picked up with any frequency. It will take me several days to talk to some people and research the literature.

I can't remember why, but the arterial system is resistant to pressure spikes but very susceptible to long term moderate elevation. Offhand I think it has to do with the compiance of the arterial walls acting as a dampener.

regards,

Olazul
