Bear in mind, there have been cases, in the jet era, where bomb damage caused depressurization and the resultant emergency descent profile caused the fuselage to break up. a Vmo/Mmo descent is a stressful event for both the crew and the airframe.
The USAF story of a damaged C-141 comes to mind. It suffered a aft door failure damaging the tail and caused a near-explosive depressurization. The only pilot that remained conscious was a new LT in the right seat. He did nothing but reduce power and go down slowly at the current speed. Lockheed determined, as part of the investigation, that his (non) action saved everybody.
