For the same reason, you should avoid gulping a carbonated beverage and then immediately diving from the 5 meter board. (trust me)

Don't know why but your comment reminded me that I haven't gone swimming in about 5 years! I wonder if the pressure in a plane at say 30 thousand feet is greater/same/less than surrounded by 30k gallons of water 15 feet deep? Some beautiful mathematics dot dot dot and there's the answer. Psst I'm not doing the math but I will sit here and ponder. Ok I'm over it.

If you do it once, you won't get suckered into it again.
I think I heard cabin pressure is kept at seven or eight thousand feet ASL so..... Math! The back of my hand to math. I don't need no stinking math, I got a spotter ;-)
