ss048e061332 (08/19/2016) --- Checking the space gloves before and after a spacewalk is part of the detailed check list astronauts go through to provide absolute safety. Both NASA astronaut Jeff Williams and Kate Rubens took part in the important inspections before and after their 19 Aug 2016 spacewalk to install a new docking adapter . A cut in the glove could subject the astronaut to the extreme temperatures of outer space and the escape of oxygen, both of which could be fatal.
