Doing
anything daft or "funny" with compressed air and bodies (yours or other's) could result in air being forced into the bloodstream- an embolism. This could be fatal. Just DON'T!
The risk isn't great- you have to actually
do something deliberately unless you're very unlucky! Problems with flying filth muck and rubbish are much more likely to occur. Common sense should keep you safe but safety goggles are a good idea and a mask if things are really cruddy!
