      They have, and that seems to be the industry standard. I don’t expect issues. But you can’t test everything in a full gravity vacuum chamber and SpaceX has never made an EVA suit before.

      I’m sure the depressurization process includes tons of safety measures and tests, but I’m still creeped out by a tourist flight being this experimental!

        Depressurization is also quite slow in order to gradually test the capabilities of the suit. If there are any anomalies, they can simply abort.
