Remember when I got to go to @NASA to watch a dev run* in the NBL**? The crew on the @Space_Station are doing that spacewalk now. And you can watch it. nasa.gov/nasalive

*dev run = developmental run = rehearsal
**NBL = Neutral Buoyancy Lab = giant swimming pool
If you're an SF writer watching please note that they attach safety tethers AT ALL TIMES. When you hear "Gate closed, slider locked, black-on-black" that's them moving their safety tether. Those are the 3 steps to confirm that it's locked.

They are religious about tethers.
The SF scenario of someone getting knocked off a station by an impact would take a really weird set of circumstances to happen, because they are constantly tethered or otherwise attached.
