Children in wading pools have sat on the drainage pipe that
unfortunately did not have a grate over it. The suction on the child's
bottom entrapped him until someone could turn the circulating pump
off. Horribly, the suction tore a hole in the child's rectum. His
small bowel was sucked through the hole in the rectal wall, down the
rectal lumen and out through the anus.How much suction had the pump
created?

It's probably better to refer to the performance properties of the
pump itself, rather than try to figure it out from the vastly more
complicated properties of human internal organs.
