Ok, I guess the answer is maybe. Maybe it depends upon the oxygen mask. Maybe it depends on what he is wearing. If it is a mask such as those that drop down in a commercial airliner, no. If the guy is at 100,000, we might be able to assume he is not naked. (or is he? ) May we assume if he is at 100,000 feet he is not wearing street clothes? IMO, he wouldn’t need a space suit, or even a pilots pressure suit. A simple spandex body suit should do it.
