What would happen if you were suddenly exposed to the conditions on Mars?

Since the atmosphere is like 1/100 as dense as on earth among other things...

If I went there i'd have trouble not trying to stick my hand outside to feel what it's like.

Help persuade me not to do this, with the gory details. 😀

We would turn puffy... But we would die first of lack of oxygen. Then after that, maybe from cold.

I saw parts of that movie, but I don't rely on movies for factual information.

On the subject of partial-body vacuum exposure, the results are not quite as serious. In 1960, during a high-altitude balloon parachute-jump, a partial-body vacuum exposure incident occurred when Joe Kittinger, Jr. lost pressurization in his right glove during an ascent to 103,000 ft (19.5 miles) in an unpressurized balloon gondola, Despite the depressurization, he continued the mission, and although the hand became painful and useless, after he returned to the ground, his hand returned to normal. Kittinger wrote in National Geographic

Haha, anyone want dare me to put my hand outside the mars complex for $100, if i go to mars?
