I can't imagine the bends being a problem in aviation.
The reason it's an issue in SCUBA diving is that it's easy to go from high pressure to low pressure quickly, causing nitrogen to bubble out of solution in your tissues.
In an RV, even with its respectable climb rate, you don't really get to low pressure very quickly. A military jet, even pressurized, can expose the body to 10,000 feet of altitude change in a matter of a minute or two and I've never heard of bends related issues. Also, pilots aren't always on 100% oxygen. Not sure if it's different now, but in my day, as soon as you were comfortably airborne, the mask was 1/2 unclipped and swinging to the side... until it was time for some hard maneuvering.
Just trying to add some useful info here:
The reason fizz goes away in warm Coke is less that it's diluted by water from the ice, but more that warm water can hold far less CO2 when warm.
Also, exercise isn't synonymous with shaking a can of Coke. It may be that they recommend SCUBA divers not exercise after a long deep dive... possibly because of damage from bubbles going to the wrong places:

Lastly, be aware of the huge differences in pressure changes between flying and SCUBA diving. With SCUBA, you can get to a pressure 4X Sea Level and go back to 1X in just a minute or two. With Flying, the pressure ratio from Sea Level to FL180 is only .5.
Another way to look at it is:
Sea Level to 120' deep: 15psi --> 75psi or 60psi difference
Sea Level to FL180: 15psi --> 7.5psi or 7.5psi difference
