As far as we know, the skylight on the bridge could be the emergency hatch. Every starship seems to have it. And even if it isn't the emergency hatch, they could still be in danger if it shatters.
Very Weird Deaths:

I think it was obvious why Remmick was "over phasered." It was payback for him being such a d-bag in the episode "Coming of Age." I can just imagine Riker saying "That felt good!" and Picard replying "Damned right it did!"
Star Trek seemed to always shy away from darker things like that. Just think about how often boarders could be repelled had the captain just beamed the offending enemies into space, or beamed the crew of an attacking ship into space through a hole in their shields, or had his opponents heart beamed into his hand so he could show him how black it is before he dies, or an enemy has a phaser set to high stun fired point-blank into their skull scrambling their brains with a close-up of blood streaming out of their nose, mouth, eyes, ears, etc...
Man, Star Trek could have been so much more violent and disturbing. We've come closest to that with the two "blown-into-space" deaths in Nemesis and '09. Now I've gone and upset myself...
"What we got back didn't live long. Fortunately." 
"Oh, no. They're forming." Is a much creepier line, IMO.
That random chick who's body was halfway inside the ground of the floor.
Tasha dies: big funeral.
Some one-episode character goes missing on a secret mission: a big deal reported over the shi[s comm.
Some nameless ensign phases into the floor: Eh, no biggie.

You've got to wonder if Barclay felt any guilt over this. If he hadn't been having a hypochondriac episode, this affliction wouldn't have been let loose on the ship.
The fact that the disease was named for Barclay can't have helped any.
Lt. Cmdr. Remmick or whatever his name was had a pretty weird death.
Picard means that the 2 categories "safe" and "accounted for" include everyone. The dead guy is only in the "accounted for" category, everyone else is in both categories. It's not like Picard is using only one category, "safe and accounted for".
He sounds very self satisfied at the end despite the explicit loss of the crewman. Picard's relieved tone in the log seems out of sync with the overall tenure of the episode.
Is it any worse than literally laughing about Picard's saddle at the end of Starship Mine, even though it is a stark reminder that Picard was too annoyed by the now DEAD "Hutch" to literally stay in there talking with him one minute longer?
"Oh, every experienced rider has his own saddle" In other words. Hahaha, oh that captain & his excuse making, & hanging us all out to dry, because he didn't want to socialize with an annoying host, who probably deserves more respect since he died in the line of duty
The Starship Mine thing is worse. Poor old Hutch.
I know... Right? I actually didn't think Hutch was all that terrible a guy. He just seemed lonely, stuck out there on an outpost. Hell, the flagship swings by with noted officers like Picard & Data? That's kind of a big deal. You barely know the guy. Cut him some slack. Of course all he's got in common with you is small talk stuff, & then he steps up and catches a blast to boot? They should all feel like crap for mocking himThe Starship Mine thing is worse. Poor old Hutch.
