Right, so Yokozuna probably weighed in at about 600 lbs for much of his career.

That's like the weight of a horse.

Death by rib fracture, and all the dangers of lung perforation that comes with it, could well be on the cards. A crushed larynx would obstruct the airway, but then again, the 600 lbs man sitting on your chest would probably do that too.

The ribcage is a pretty springy structure, so if by some miracle nothing broke, the force might yet be transferred into the deeper tissues, potentially causing massive internal bleeding. This is definitely not a dignified way to go.
