Your description sounds like the only effect would be first higher then lower than normal pressure. Read on what happens to divers who go down or up too much too fast. It would be the same I guess.

The dive issue wouldn't really play in here though because nitrogen dissolves in the blood over time due to breathing pressurized air. If the pressure was enough of a difference you could be crushed, but just as importantly when the pressure disappears your lungs could explode I suppose if you didn't breathe out.
