When Alexei Leonov died four years ago, someone uploaded his own description of his 1965 spacewalk, the very first EVA. Pretty much everything went wrong. In the vacuum of space his space suit inflated so much that he could barely move and his fingers didn't reach his gloves. Eventually he managed to deflate the suit to a level that put him at risk of decompression sickness, but at least he could move. Then he had to deflate even more to get back through the airlock, but he got in alive. Anyone less calm and collected than Leonov would have died. Fortunately both sides learned from that.
Unfortunately I could'nt find the interview where he described his ordeal, so I just put down what I remembered.
Edit: I just remembered that when Leonov and the other cosmonaut on Voskhov 2 went back to Earth, things kept going wrong, Leonov had to perform a manual re-entry and the capsule crashed up in the Ural mountains. They were found by a search party on skis a couple days later, and skied out of there themselves to a place where a helicopter could land.
