oxygen rules

According to an article I am reading "research shows that the maximum safe altitude at which an aircraft cabin can decompress and the crew remain conscious, even with the use of oxygen masks is 48,000 feet. Safely surviving decompression at such high altitude requires a pressure suit" Why doesn't the Oxygen mask work? What do pilots at 51,000 feet or the concorde do?
