When Jammer freaks out because he is a wuss and goes into convulsions, Coffey says he is getting to much oxygen. That is true, it can happen. It's called Oxygen toxicity......

How many people also know that you can die from drinking too much water? It's called water intoxication..

Water intoxication became national news almost 20 years ago when some poor lady killed herself trying to win a Nintendo Wii from a radio station holding a water drinking contest. She drank 5 gallons in 15 minutes or something crazy like that.
