WOW that would be scary.
But how was there gravity in space? why did he not float away and did he have oxygen?

"I really had no sensation of falling because I had no visual reference on anything so I thought I was really suspended in space...."

I have two questions 1) What happened to his hand due to the leak and 2) How many people have done this since.
