What is referred to as 'the bends' is a condition that is caused by rapid decompression, something that can happen if a diver ascends too quickly. The problem that develops is that the nitrogen gas in their blood begins to boil, much like shaking and then opening a soda bottle and letting it fizz over, except in the bends it does not spill out. The person experiencing the bends feels tremendous pain as their blood fizzes the nitrogen inside their blood vessels.
