Why are you not crushed by atmospheric pressure

Accepted Answer

Because your body ... the product of millions of years of evolution within atmospheric pressure ... is full of spongy flesh, fluids, juices, and other structures and materials that push outward, exactly balancing the outside pressure, so that over some range of pressures, you do not inflate like a balloon, and you do not collapse like a prune.
