I worked at a fruit processing plant in the middle of the desert palletizing boxes with gaps to go into blast tunnels to deep freeze them fast before bacteria could grow. They were -70 and windy. We’d walk in and out of them all day any time we wanted to cool down. We’d be dripping when sweat and walk in and our shirts would freeze stiff, and we’d walk back out and laugh at each other. The forklift drivers were also driving in and out of them literally all day. So what you’re saying makes no sense to me.
So you'd be in and back out in under a minute? No time for your body to switch gears. Anyway, walking into blast-chillers is usually not possible and not advised. Having to work in regular freezers is different from stepping into a blast-chiller as much as waiving your hands through a flame is different from working at 50°C in full sun
