Explosive decompression

Explosive decompression occurs when a rapid breach in a pressurized environment, like an aircraft cabin, causes the outside air to rush in instantly. This sudden pressure change can be dangerous, causing objects and people to be forcefully pushed or pulled, leading to injuries or damage. It often results from a sudden failure of the aircraft's fuselage or a door opening too quickly at high altitude. The rapid expansion of compressed air can also cause equipment to malfunction, and in severe cases, can lead to structural stress or failure.
