Well I've never seen it happen, but 1 atmosphere (about earth's atmospheric pressure) is 14.69 psi. Now that's 14.69 psi being pushed by your body outward. That doesn't seem as bad to me, but when you consider we have quite a bit of surface area, it adds up.
I think it's similar to what happens if you pull a deep sea ocean fish up to the surface really quickly, whatever that may be. My money's on boom.
