aircraft and decompression
Observations from Greek fighter aircraft indicate a decompression problem.
For aircraft decompression incidents at altitude see:
Frangible bullets such as the Glaser Safety Slug are designed to ricochet less and be less likely to puncture the hull of an aircraft, which lessens the danger of decompression if the officer has to fire on an attacker.
Barotitis, a form of barotrauma, may occur when there is a substantial difference in air or water pressure between the outer inner and the inner ear, for example in a rapid ascent while scuba diving, or a sudden decompression of an aircraft at high altitude.

Also, rapid ascent in the jump aircraft without all nitrogen flushed from the bloodstream can lead to decompression sickness ( also known as caisson disease or usually known as the bends ).
Repeated structural failures of aircraft types occurred in 1954, when 2 de Havilland Comet C1 jet airliners crashed due to decompression caused by metal fatigue, and in 1963-4, when the vertical stabilizer on 4 Boeing B-52 bombers broke off in mid-air.
It caused rapid decompression and the break-up of the aircraft in mid-air.
Pulmonary barotrauma may also be caused by explosive decompression of a pressurised aircraft.
Pulmonary barotrauma is a rupturing of the lungs by internal over-pressurisation caused by the expansion of air held in the lungs on depressurisation such as: a scuba diver ascending while holding the breath or ; the explosive decompression of an aircraft cabin or other working environment.
