CAPSIZE IN WATER (WITHOUT WINDOW)

The helicopter operations to offshore introduce various risks as listed but not limited: • Offshore helicopter operations are often conducted in adverse weather. • Winds are generally stronger over water than over land, thus making the helicopter harder to control. • High chance of ditching in water – many system malfunctions have the potential to result in a ditching. • Safety systems are often destroyed or disabled on impact. • Harsh conditions in water can easily cause a helicopter to capsize. • Harsh conditions and destroyed or disabled safety and rescue systems reduce the chances of survivors being saved. • Most fatalities are caused by drowning as occupants are often unable to leave the helicopter in time. This video demonstrates the actions for escaping through a window opening which is underwater, from a capsized helicopter (without operation of a push out window).
