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.
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.
