Explosive decompression is very rare (and very different from rapid
decompression), but when it occurs, many deaths occur due to direct
physical trauma from differences in air pressure. Ruptured hearts and
lungs are not unusual. This was seen in the early accidents with the
Comet, which actually did explosively decompress on several occasions
when defects in its construction yielded at altitude.
Wrong again, moron.
