It is more probable that the pilot would be violently redistributed in the atmosphere.

  Yeah I doubt it used oxidizer to refrigerate the cabin so an averaging of the pilot/atmosphere ratio seems more likely than a dissolution oxidizer leak[0]. And it would probably set the pilot on fire rather than dissolve it: > Because of its extreme oxidizing potential, T-Stoff was a very dangerous chemical to handle, so special rubberized suits were required when working with it, as it would react with most cloth, leather, or other combustible material and cause it to spontaneously combust. At 57% methanol and 30% hydrazine hydrate (by weight), the reductant wasn't exactly innocuous either. [0] even more so as the reductant and oxidizer were picked for their hypergolic combination, ground explosion is not unheard of for 163.

  That happened a lot, too. (I read a book on the 163.) The Me-163 killed many more Luftwaffe pilots than Allied.
