Shudder!

No, you wouldn't. The vacuum doesn't just prevent you from breathing,
it also seriously deoxygenates the blood that passes through your lungs.
When the blood first deoxygenated from the depressurization incident
reaches your brain through normal circulation, suddenly your brain is
getting almost zero oxygen; that takes 5-15 seconds. Then you pass out
very quickly.
