One of Rick's Black Swans

[Ken]

Rick posted a thread earlier today about "Black Swans" - foreseeable disastrous events that could have been prevented with little planning and a few dollars.

In this case, three deaths from cold water immersion could have been prevented. Crashing or landing in cold water was clearly a foreseeable event for the people on this helicopter, yet there's no mention of any cold water survival suits being worn nor a small inflatable raft aboard. The suits are not overly cumbersome, the rafts take up almost no room, and the price of this gear is miniscule compared to the cost of operating a helicopter in the Arctic. We carried similar gear IN THE SUMMER on the ocean off of Cape Cod, knowing that hypothermia can set in quickly, leading to death, even in the month of July off the coast of New England.

Suits: Mustang Ocean Commander Suit http://lrse.com/Mustang-Ocean-Commander-Suit.html

Raft: MOM600 Throwable Rescue Platform http://lrse.com/MOM600-Throwable-Rescue-Platform.html


Post-mortem suggests men survived Arctic helicopter crash, died in water

I find it strange that the coast guard themselves arent prepared and yet are considered an authority when it comes to marine safety!

[Rick]

My money is on they had the suits but chose not to wear them through complacency. Once they hit the water they would not have had enough time to put them on and I'm sure they are too cumbersome to be worn inside the craft and probably impossible to wear and fly the chopper. Add a significant injury or being unconscious and the result is a fairly quick death.

Any chopper pilots care to chime in about immersion suits and being able to fly with them on?
