"Hi-Jack Offed", Way to Die #754 is the sixth death to be featured in "Tweets From the Dead" which aired on March 26, 2012.
Plot[]
Percy, a hijacker looking to hijack a vehicle, poses as a hitchhiker to lure in potential targets. When a truck driver named Johnny and his boss, a former female boxer named Dallas, stop to help him, Percy pulls out a gun. Threatening to shoot them, Percy forces them out of the truck. Dallas shove him and he falls backward onto the truck's air brake hose, which enters his rectum, and knobs through his ribs, making Percy into a "human flesh balloon". Percy screams in terror and pain, and collapses onto the road, as both Dallas and Johnny take a few steps back. Eventually, enough air fills into Percy, causing him to explode, killing him almost instantly. Johnny and Dallas scream in horror upon seeing Percy's scattered remains, not helped by the fact that some of Percy's blood splatters onto them and their truck.

A dummy before Percy explodes
- This death is loosely based on a real-life incident involving 48-year-old New Zealand native Steven McCormack. Steven accidentally fell on a compressed air hose, causing the line to enter his rectum and fill his body up with air. Unlike Percy, Steven survived the incident, having to spend three days in the hospital burping and farting the air out of his body and made a full recovery.
- This death is similar to Rub-A-Dubbed Out.
- This death takes place on the same day as Meat Your Maker, Heim-licked, and Namas-dead.
- Dallas name may be based on Dallas Wiens.
