This has been a known problem for decades. I remember watching videos about it on Discovery channel back when they still ran education content. One case, a person had their intestines sucked out.

The solution has always been to have multiple intakes for the suction line and have the kill switch in clear view of the pool.

Did you read the one where a guy stuck is weiner in a pipe and it got stuck and then engorged.

The delta-p videos are wild. The most popular being a crab sucked through a crack in a pipe, not a hole, but a crack no more than mm or two wide.

I saw that on one of the Final Destination movies. I had no idea it could actually happen.
