Don't forget micro meteor strikes. You get a really slow air leak that is very hard to pin point unless you put something really light yet highly recognizable in the air that you can follow to the leak. Otherwise its a slow terrible death. I still say it would be good to be able to place defenses against meteors, space junk, etc upon your structures. Even if that just means equipping them with an ion or plasma engine to be able to move out of the way provided you detect the danger. Could even be a spacecraft losing the ability to maneuver and thus becoming an impact hazard. Or it could be that due to an impact your orbital city is now losing its orbit or rather de-orbiting which would be terminal without the ability to re-establish orbit.
