A number of astronauts have faced the terrifying ordeal of a helmet filling with water over the years. In 2013, a spacewalk had to be cut short after European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano came close to drowning. A NASA report detailing the incident said that Parmitano was faced with “water covering his eyes, nose and ears.”
