Why they insisted on pure oxygen I will never figure out. The soviets used mostly mostly air, I believe.

I understand but you are going to confuse the shite out of some of the less intelligent.

I think some Soviet cosmonaut got cooked in a pure oxygen chamber during testing/experimentation with a spacesuit. I don't recall if this was prior to the Soyuz program or not, but it was before Apollo 1. Either way, if the data could have been shared...
Damn Commies.

It wasn't the pure oxygen alone that was the problem.
1. Pure oxygen
2. Almost 17 PSI
3. Velcro in the cabin
4. Test not classified as hazardous, so routine (and only routine) safety protocols were in place
Any 1 of those factors removed and the incident either doesn't happen or isn't fatal.
