Rapid increases in pressure aren't really a concern. It's something I deal with all the time while scuba diving. The pressure changes this guy is going through is nothing compared to the changes a diver goes through. I've personally gone from 1ATA to 4ATA in less than 5 minutes on a couple of dives, and as long as you can equalize your air pockets (inner ear, sinuses, etc) it's no big deal. With a pressure suite, this jumper may experience a change of .5ATA.

The real concerns are from rapid "decreases" in pressure, and when pressures are so great, you have to worry about Nitrogen Narcosis or Oxygen Toxicity.
I don't believe it, a fact on a forum from someone who does it as his job. Blimey the internet isn't wasted... even I've learned something today.

Ok, so pressure won't be a problem, however would you not feel the temp change even in a suite?
