I wonder what happened physically. Like, would all the flesh come out at the other side? Or does it all get highly compressed and pushed aside pusing into his lungs or heart? Probably a bit of both.

Must have been a pretty ominous sign having a plaque with a date in the future engraved into it on the front of your breastplate.
