What happens to you if you are sucked out of a plane during decompression?

When a plane loses pressure by depressurization, air escapes through an opening in the plane. Depressurization can cause passengers to have trouble breathing at certain altitudes.

What is a medical procedure test or exam using the midsagittal plane?
During a vaginal exam with a speculum, the instrument is inserted in the midsagittal plane.
What imaginary plane does a baby pass through during childbirth?
pelvic outlet
Does the moon revolve in earth's equatorial plane?
No, it does not. The inclination of the moon's orbital plane is anywhere from 18.3 degrees to 28.6 degrees. The moon does intersect earth's equatorial plane twice during every sidereal orbit.
What happens when Concorde plane flies faster than speed of sound?
its simple the sound barrier is broken :D
Why does a length of Concorde plane increases during flight?
As the Concorde flies along at high speeds, the friction between the air and the surface of the plane heats it up. As it heats up, the surface expands - and the plane gets a little bit longer.
Can you open the doors on a 747 in the air?
Only if you want to get sucked out of the plane.
How did Payne Stewart die?
Payne Stewart probably died due to the decompression of the private plane he was in. The plane was on autopilot and several hours after the point where everyone was probably already dead there was a tragic plane crash.
Why did the plane crash into the Hudson?
Birds were sucked into the engines causing loss of power.
Can you be sucked out a plane?
Type your answer here... no, you can't, unless you arent belted in your seat
Has a volcano destroyed a plane?
No but the ash gets sucked into and engine and the engines flame out.
If a small hole is made in a plane at altitude can it cause explosive decompression and tear the plane apart?
It will cause an explosive decompression but hopefully not tear it apart because planes are assembled in small panels so if one takes a hole it should not spreadhttp://site1.wikianswers.com/images/blank.gif?v=22222
Can you be sucked out of the plane when you go to the bathroom?
It is not possible for a human being to be sucked out of an airplane's toilet. Besides, the toilet is extremely narrow. It would not fit a human body.
Why do flight attendants ask passengers in a plane to shut the window during take off and landing?
They only ask you to put up your tray tables and your seats in the verticle position. Windows do not open on planes anyway, as the plane goes very high and very fast and if the windows opened, people would get sucked out of the plane.
What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly?
What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly, is that the plane accelerates.
Suppose you are going in jet plane and one of the windows breaks due to an accident what problem do you think you will have?
The plane will undergo explosive decompression as the air pressure inside the plane is much higher than the air pressure outside. Now, before we go any further - explosive decompression does not mean the plane will explode. It means that the plane decompresses faster than your lungs are able to cope so the air 'explodes' out of your lungs. Your lungs would be injured due to the force generated by air leaving very quickly. The air inside the plane will be sucked out until the air pressure equalizes. Because there will consequently be very little air left in the plane you would of course need an oxygen mask to breathe. Contrary to popular belief, if the window breaks, neither you, the chair you're sat on, or your baggage, would be sucked out of a small hole (like the window). The fuselage design of the plane prevents this from happening (see Mythbusters, where several tests were undertaken with high-pressure aircraft which were shot). However, if there was an extremely large hole (like the cargo door coming off) then it is plausible for people to be sucked out (passengers have been torn out of planes where this has occurred - but this usually occurs as a result of the damage - which usually takes the seats with it). On an unrelated subject, a person would not explode either due to the decompression, human skin is strong enough to withstand a drop of one atmosphere in pressure. You might swell up a bit, but that's it. Your nerves would not explode - and the pressure high above sea level is actually lower, not higher. Pressure increases as you get closer to the Earth's core - e.g. water boils at 280 degrees centigrade a few kilometres under the Earth's surface (this is a fact that geothermal power stations exploit) but it only requires 75 degrees centigrade to boil at the top of Mt Everest. Planes don't artifically generate pressure; the air pressure inside the plane is the same as the air pressure where the plane took off from (as it is filled with air from this location which is constantly recirculated, temperature adjusted, cleaned etc by air conditioning). Once the plane doors are properly closed the plane is airtight.
Can you open a door in the air of a 747?
yes you can. but i can't advise it. since an aircraft is a pressurized vessel. you will get explosive decompression, this can be EXTREMELY dangerous, and can result in the plane going down.
What would happen if you broke the escape hatch on a plane?
The result of breaking the escape hatch on a plane would depend upon the altitude and velocity of the plane. Under some circumstances, the air can get sucked out of the plane, which is very dangerous. If you break the hatch while the plane is still on the runway, then possibly you will be charged with vandalism.
