Hey Jazz...Don't worry about it...Blind is the "same" poster that thinks a runway "EXcursion" is a big deal as well....looking for the ol'e "What do you guys think?" type post...
I don't know how it is in other A/C, but I've had the pleasure of flying "un-pressurised" in the 727 3 times in 23 years....Only once was it due to the "high dive"...
It gets unbelieveably hot in the cabin at 10,000'...so the fact that these guys dropped the masks manually and executed a "slow" descent probably stopped some panic, rather than doing a "high dive" and flying along with a 35 degree C cabin temp....
