This isn't a flippant comment. Imagine though, being presented with this. Imagine having some underlying health problem (e.g. cardiovascular).
Do not be surprised if real people actually die from this mistake, from the anxiety, the surprise, the helplessness.
its so far out as to be obviously not real
a smaller error by say, just one or two orders of magnitude are much more believable as a reader
I've seen people have panic attacks over much smaller amounts.
Just because you've not seen it or cannot fathom it happening in your world doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
