It's not that much backpressure, just a few psi.

Hi Jennifer,
I'm sure I've seen it used to save a person trapped under a
vehicle, but I can't find an example. Must have been replaced by the
"jaws of life" tool. Anyway I know just how hot the exhaust gets, and
that makes this a toy and a waste of money. The only write up I could
find about the bag, was a four wheel drive group from down under. An

Re: blowup jack??
 

I've seen similar types work (not the arb version) on longer wheelbase
vehicles, and they did ok - perhaps the longer exhaust disipated the heat
better.
