Someone was asking how long a person could run in a vaccum, even if the person didn't have to breathe. I thought that a person would be unable to run or do much of anything in a vaccum, and will start dying almost instantly. I was told I am wrong. However I am putting the question here to see what answers come up.

I just crawled out of my Sears Kenmore. I couldn't stand being in there for more than three minutes. But I'm a little claustrophobic--you may be able to stay in there longer.

Depends on how intense the vacuum is....you live in a vaccum on earth to begin with....if you are refering to a total vaccum you wouldnt last long enough to fart! You would expand quickly and explode!

Eleven seconds. A British hangman (I forgot his name)reported that if hanging is properly done the victim lives for a maximum of eleven seconds.He must be right . He hanged more than 50 people.

you won't their would be NO air, no air in your lungs no ari in your body for that matter and you won't be breathing. Even if you where there would be no air to breath.
You would be like the marshmellow (when you put in in a vaccum air pump) squished.

very short time, because your body will explode. like astronauts in outer space if their suit malfunctions. (have you seen those scifi movies?).
Wait a minute.. I just read
http://www.sff.net/people/Geoffrey.Landis/vacuum.html
He says body won't explode, blood won't boil, you'll stay conscious for 10 seconds, but you'd die in about 90 seconds. In fact he recommends against holding your breath because that would lead to explosion of the lungs.

Could you be more specific? What kind of vacuum? An Electrolux, a Hoover, or an Orex?

I don`t think it`s possible to have a total vacuum here on earth.

if you are in a vacuum container you don't have oxygen to breathe and when this become clear to SNC your reaction is Panic,disordered reactions and attempt to escape.
Without oxygen ,Death will come soon.
