Without them, food would just pass through and not do anything. Even vitamin supplements would do nothing as they wouldn't stay in your system long enough to have any effect. You would be severely malnourished, dehydrated, etc. You wouldn't be able to live on our own as you would need to be hooked up to a constant IV drip. Just my take.
It's not like the person survived like in the story. He stated that he had read about rectal prolapse cases and there are documented cases of people who got into these sort of accidents in a swiming pool. It DOES happen. Everything you can imagine happening to someone, it HAS happened to someone at least once.
