I think if one is suddenly stopped from an accident or shake around by
an earthquake one can have the "Wind knocked out of you." But what is
this?

Presumably the conventional explanation is the diaphragm is strained
so it doesn't function as easily and becomes harder to breathe. Also
maybe the conventional idea is that the diaphragm is over stretched
upward and one loses all the air in the lungs, or a whole lot of it.

Instead, what if the human body is at least partially supersaturated
with gas like soda-pop. Slamming a soda-pop can on a table obviously
release bubbles as do shaking. Perhaps then the same occurs with
human or animals. The shaking or sudden stop to an animals body then
would cause an abnormal release of gas from the lungs and gas within
the blood. The latter should then lead to symptoms of air embolisms
or the bends during earthquakes or after a sudden stop to a speeding
body like in a car accident.

Maybe then this large release of gas as well as diaphragm damage is a
large part of the reason for the lethality of airplane accidents.
