Two very stupid questions...

OK, my mind has been wandering, as it often does. I've been working on a project at university dealing with light aircraft, and another where we've looked at adverts for Learjets etc so that's brought me on to commercial aircraft a bit.

1. What would happen, if you were using the facilities and there was a rapid or slow decompression? Are there masks in there? And if there are, are you then stuck in there, or could you, if needed, get back to a cabin seat?

2. Along the same lines: The safety demo tells you what to do if the masks drop. Why do they then not warn you of the (I'm assuming) rather scary descent, so that you at least know it's coming?

I'll probably think of more stupid questions, but these two have been going round my brain for a few hours now... (Yeah, I have too much time on my hands, I know).
