Now my own take on it is, it was probably done for drama\story sake, and I'm personally ok with that. Another possibility is, it was a quicker, merciful movie death.

Reading those links, I think if it was done closer to actual real life physics, would've been really too painful\sickening to watch and sit through.

After reading this, I have to exclaim "EVENT HORIZON WAS RIGHT!" in a weird, sort of, almost way. There is a scene where someone ends up in the air lock, headed for space, no suit, just scrubs for clothes, and Mr. Fishbourne gives him the following commands:

IT'S STARTING. MY EYES.

DON'T THINK ABOUT THEM. SHUT THEM.

[Justin screaming]
JUST SHUT THEM AS TIGHT AS YOU CAN.

5 SECONDS.

TUCK YOURSELF INTO A CROUCH POSITION.

MAKE YOURSELF INTO A BALL NOW.

(Justin) I CAN'T BREATHE. OH, GOD.

OH, GOD, IT HURTS.

I WANT YOU TO HUFF AND PUFF AND BLOW ALL THE AIR OUT OF YOUR LUNGS.

DO YOU HEAR ME? ALL THE AIR OUT OF YOUR LUNGS, JUSTIN.

Score one for the bad sci fi movie that everyone hates but me!
