JFKs head actually just did that. It was a result of the brain experiencing rapid changes in air pressure between being on an airplane and in a convertible in a motorcade. The whole thing goes to your head and if you've just been flying... Pop!
It was covered up by Boeing who was afraid Americans wouldn't want to fly if they knew their heads would do that if they went to sit in an open convertible with Jackie Kennedy right after.
Luckily she never rode a motorcade again because of her trauma, preventing such incidents from ever recurring.
Very considerate of Jackie, really
