      You know, I really have no idea, but I am guessing you could. It just wouldn’t be that fun!

      Hmmm I’m not sure about this one. I think you probably could, but you would find it very hard to breathe, so wouldn’t be able to do exercise like normal. I would guess that it would have to be done surgically though, as I know if you puncture a lung you need to get it sorted out pretty quickly. But I don’t know for sure.
