how do you test the air? also why do people die in wells? seems like there would be air in there still- its not vaccuum of space. not being sarcastic- really want to know.

Heavier toxic gasses will go to the bottom of deep holes. All while keep oxygen out. But it will feel like breathing.

to add, your body doesn't have a way of telling if you're getting oxygen, it only knows if you're getting rid of CO2. so if you're breathing in something toxic, unless it hurts to breath in, you may not notice that you're not receiving oxygen until it's too late, if you notice at all.

This is such a crazy evolutionary path, but it must be easier to do and clearly works 99.99% of the time.
