Aircraft maintenance has been doing the negative pressure unlock tests on cockpit doors for decades, its honestly surprising what isn’t common knowledge. Like others have said, rapid decompression of only a portion of the aircraft is very bad, and will result in massive structural failure as individual compartments aren’t pressure rated and will blow apart. The doors I’ve had experience with had large panels that would pop out when in a negative pressure event.
Interesting. Now I’m wondering if the bathroom doors also blow out if there is decompression.
Those don’t seal well, so probably not
I think my ass would be having a blow out too if that happened
