So...if you were thrown out of a spaceship into vacuum, your internal pressure would blow you apart as your blood boiled and killed you instantly, right? Wrong.
why get in the way of truly imaginative gory visions? :-)
In any event, in a true vaccuum experience, there'd be the radiation exposure to worry about as well. Even a short time could guarantee sterility or worse.
There's rules for it in Transhuman Space. Almost as good as the rules for hydrostatic shock in Blue Planet. I will never forget the look on the face of one particular player just after he said 'I bet this game doesn't have rules for Hydrostatic shock!'
And I had to fudge round it in some fiction of my own, because I wanted lots of explody gore at that point.
Not a physicist or anything, but I like my SF HARD.
