Explosive Decompression
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Explosive Decompression can be summed up in very few words. To start with, very bad. Generally considered somthing not to do. It basically has to do with the atmospheric pressure outside being too small to sufficiently hold together something such as human skin holding all of the innards in one place. Well, for a decent example take your average balloon, blow it up, then heat it. Although not exactly the same principal, now just imagine instead of air rushing out of the lifeless balloon, your innards were streaming from your once living body......you get the picture. So, unless you are a masochist with a deathwish, explosive decompressiion is to be avoided at all costs.
