Having an option to call 911 in a pinch renders this whole setup a complete joke. Regardless of what they are testing the mere existence of this failsafe massively skews the results, if not rendering them useless completely. Remarks like "I'm not a doctor, but it could be a heart attack or something" don't instill much confidence in the quality of the experiment either. It's also telling that first responders refer to them quite bluntly as "fake astronauts."
