  The suction is about 2700N I think.

  errr 2700N? try lifting something 270kg. that's about the weight of a standard (non-grand) piano.
  
  to lift it you would have to exert a very large upward force. similarly, a person facing such a strong suction force would have to exert a force of equal magnitude to free himself.
  
  engineers might have different ways of calculating this though. (im not one)

  what to do under such worst case scenario?
  
  like we do with the vacuum sucking plastic on wall? ply a bit out from the edge then the suction will disappear...
  
  so, i guess if you ever encounter this situation, don't panic, can't force up your whole body by brute force. MUST PLY A BIT from the body edge, like LIFTING UP your stomach to give a small opening then the suction will disappear very fast...

  kg not equal to force lar.
  
  Force is calculated in newtons.
