Some examples:
A ring slides on but gets stuck trying to take it back off.
A kid puts his head through metal slats on a railing, but can’t pull it back through.
A girl gets her body in a clothes dryer, but can’t get back out.
If we can fit forward, shouldn’t we be able to fit backwards, too?

As an example, the guy who got stuck in the cave and died. The passage had a slight ridge that he was sliding over to get lower into the cave. To pass over it he exhaled and let his ribs flex. The pressure came off as he passed over and his ribs expanded. His ribs then basically hooked over the ridge and there was no way for him to compress them back down. It was too tight and too big a ridge.
That’s how it happens with all of these things. Compression doesn’t always work the same way going in the opposite direction.
