Here is some evidence of what happens when a living thing is exposed to a Vacuum or a decompression.

An explosive decompression accident occurs when there is a sudden and rapid drop in air pressure in an enclosed space, such as an airplane or spacecraft. This can result in the rapid expulsion of air and objects from the space, which can lead to serious injuries or even death.
Explosive decompression accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, such as structural failure, faulty equipment, human error, or external forces such as a bomb or collision. These accidents are more likely to occur at higher altitudes or in pressurized environments.
The consequences of an explosive decompression accident can be severe and life-threatening. The sudden loss of pressure can cause serious injuries, including ruptured eardrums, lung damage, and decompression sickness. It can also lead to loss of consciousness, hypoxia, and death.
To prevent explosive decompression accidents, strict safety protocols and maintenance procedures should be followed for all equipment and structures that are pressurized. Regular inspections and tests should also be conducted to identify and address any potential hazards.
In the event of an explosive decompression accident, it is important to follow emergency procedures and remain calm. This may include putting on oxygen masks, securing loose objects, and preparing for an emergency landing. The crew should also communicate with passengers and provide reassurance and instructions as needed.
