Hypoxia and Medicine

What is it like to be in a hypoxia chamber?

I have the opportunity to simulate what its like to be at 30,000 ft with no oxygen mask. My school currently has one for demonstration and since im in an aviation career field, I'd like to try it out. However, I don't know what to expect and I've heard some crazy stuff. Will I forget to put the oxygen mask on? Will I feel sick during/afterwards?

1. I hope someone will be in the chamber with you who is already wearing an oxygen mask to be of assistance to you when you are ready to pass out.
2. Haha that guy is just kidding. Its really fun, you have to try it. Its really easy too. Mike
