To my knowledge among US astronauts- there was never a fatal accident as the result of a space walk, which is a super-risky encounter. There were problems with the so-called Zip-guns in maneuvering in zero G while doing Space walks- but to my knowledge no fatal accidents, at least among NASA astros. There have been problems as stated- only late in the Gemini program did we achieve ( First Trouble-Free space walk( and philatelic covers heralded this event.
