One of my friends does oil exploration work in remote places. Just sent me an email from north of the Arctic Circle off the coast of Norway.
Anyway, he frequently has to do emergency helicopter evac training, and has shown me the pictures. They have x amount of time to escape from a helicopter chassis which is rolled over and dunked upside down into a tank full of freezing water. I don't remember any of the numbers, but I have seen the pictures and it doesn't look like fun at all.
Ironically he used to work on land but that started getting too risky because of where the majority of the work is. Shows how bad it was getting to volunteer for helicopter insertions into a workplace in the North Sea.
