Could you escape a sinking helicopter?

I’m HUET qualified, yes.

Suppositionally from behind a keyboard? Probably

Sinking to my death? No question

I passed that same training, so maybe

Done that training.

I passed water survival school offshore

I have done HUET a few times and what happens IRL is the Helo hits harder than you can be prepared for and you panic

When a helo goes in, you rarely hear about anybody getting out. Those guys went through the training, too.

First place I swam competitively was on a navy base. They had the helicopter on a track system that slammed it into the water. It almost always rolled over. Full flight suit makes it tougher, but some of those baws could barely swim and made it out ok. Pretty sure I've seen them doing it with a blackout visor as well. Have always wanted to try it out.

Everyone who has worked offshore has done that shite. It was no big deal. We had one guy who didn’t pass first go.

I saw it in an Officer and a Gentleman. I think I could pull it off.
