Best Answer

The oxygen that the astronaut is breathing escapes through that rip (because there is no oxygen outside of the spacesuit, diffusion makes the oxygen spread outside of the spacesuit), and eventually the astronaut dies of oxygen deprivation.


the temperature helps to kill the astronaut as well.

Why is a rip in a spacesuit so dangerous?

The Air would leak out and the coldness and radiation of space would come in.
