As soon as this decompression takes place, the equipment and the personnel tend to be sucked out and the personnel may suffer decompression sickness.

rap·id de·com·pres·sionsudden severe expansion of gases due to a reduction in ambient pressure. Synonym(s): explosive decompressionexplosive decompressionIn aviators or divers, decompression resulting from an extremely rapid rate of change to a much lesser pressure. This may occur if a high-altitude aircraft suddenly loses its cabin pressure or if a diver ascends rapidly. Either of these causes violent expansion of body gases.
