Day Three
The four first hours we had first aid and hypothermia aid. We had the ABC-aid today and will have the heart and lung rescue tomorrow.
Then after lunch we started with boarding a conventional life boat. Then we went to the life boat drop. Wow, that was psycho! We all sat in the boat as the captain started to pump the hydraulic lock mechanism, and then it suddently let go and slid down the rails. Then suddenly a free fall, and I could feel my body getting weight less. Then the boat hit the surfase, goes under and then come up again and float away 150 meters. The impact was supposed to generate 4G.
Then we had a to try the evacuation sock twice.
Then a rain and storm simulation where the whole team had to get into a life raft.
Today it was 1 degree in the water. I want one of those survival suits!
