Its consequences didn’t, though. When you jump into space unprotected, it’s not the cold that will kill ya’. Vacuum is the best isolator after all. Water wouldn’t condensate on you into frost crystals, it would instantly evaporate because in 0 Pascals the boiling point of water is far below normal body temperature.
What will kill you though, is hypoxia. Also, lung damage if you get blown out into vacuum without warning. Though a: it’s still survivable even with 20th century medical attention, and b: given that these were two medical professionals who are working on a spaceship and they knew it was about to happen, they probably knew how to minimize the damage. But the hypoxia is still there.
