Why doesn't out body get crushed due to atmospheric pressure around us?

The atmospheric pressure will not crush us because there is a balanced force around us. The contents of our bodies are pushing out as much as the air is pushing in. In fact, it used to be thought that you would explode if you were exposed to a vacuum, though this is now thought to be wrong (It would be awful, but your skin is very stretchy). You can work out the pressure with the equation: PRESSURE= FORCE x AREA.

How much air pressure is pressing down on your bodies?
atmospheric pressure is 14 psi at sea level. if your body has a surface area of 15 square feet, 2160 square inches, there is technically a total of 30,000 pounds of air pushing on your body at once. dont quote me on that though i am confident that there is some major flaw in that logic
