In this training we practice escaping from a helo that has crashed on water and then the subsequent pickup by search and rescue. Helicopters always flip upside down when they hit water because all the weight is located at the top of the aircraft. We practice getting our harnesses, windows, doors, and other hatches unlocked/open on impact. We'll need to do it in complete darkness in real life so we'll practice with our eyes shut on our last go (the one you'll see).
