*"animal experiments and human accidents have shown that people can likely survive exposure to vacuum conditions for at least a couple of minutes."* http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=survival-in-space-unprotected-possible

the problem with surviving in a vaccuum has to do with the vapor pressure of water. As the barometric pressure drops, water boils at a lower temperature. When it falls below the pressure needed to maintain water in a liquid form, the water boils. Since we are made of mostly water, the liquid in our bodies would start converting to a vapor, and we would quickly be dead. At 7000 feet, the boiling temp of water is 192 degrees F, as opposed to 212 degrees F at sea level.
