So either the person was made of an undisclosed lightweight material or this is just another tall tale. The real question is this, is there any other evidence other than the story from the two men? I'd be more inclined to believe it if the man actually got sucked out and landed on the ground somewhere.

Going to a lower altitude just allows you to fly slower, which makes dragging your body back inside a whole lot easier. Plus it's a lot warmer; you'll quickly freeze to death at 20,000 feet, especially with the wind chill effect. Not to mention breathing is more difficult. Stabilizing pressure has nothing to do with it. Once the window breaks the air pressure is quickly stabilized.
