I believe that it is well known that a sudden change in gas
concentrations can result in black-out.  That is why we
stage down to the high He mixes, and why we do a gradual
change to each mix (1-new & 2-old / 2-new & 1 old / all new,
for example).

He might have just wanted to try it to see what happens. Who knows?
