Which isn't the problem it's the -40F that kills you. You freeze
your ass off well before you ever die from lack of oxygen. The vast
majority of folks can hold their breath long enough for a jet to go
from 30k to 10k in a emergency dive. Less than 60s.
As to the temp,
Don't believe me, Go jump in a pond during winter wearing a standard
1/4" neopreme wet suit. Now subtract 70F from the water temp. and
imagine your bodies reaction with no weat suit. There is a reason that
Polar Bears (people who jump in water in winter) wear grease.
