Wacky lifeboat

most ships have that i watched them testing they drop pretty far go underwater then pop up they do roll around like a bobber though
 
Looks like a good idea, considering the whole idea is to GET AWAY from the ship/rig. Must be a wild ride, though!
 
They have used those for years on drilling rigs and ships, but they were not that aerodynamic.
Next time you see a tanker or cargo ship, look at the stern, they have them that launch at an angle.
You have to be belted in correctly or you can break your spine or have a serious head injury.
