Strapped Inside a Sinking Helicopter - Facing My Fears

Today I'm facing my fears and trying Helicopter Underwater Evacuation Training. This training is used to qualify military, oil riggers, and other jobs in required safety protocols.

    I think maybe the title of this vid is the problem. If he specified in the title that this is apparently used to qualify military in safety protocols (as stated in the description), then i think it would maybe have gotten more views

    The support and calm tone you used while he's treading water for the first time is definitely a factor in his calmness. You would be an amazing trainer, professor, teacher, something along those lines. You have that ability to convey what they need to do in a calm yet reinforcing tone that not many people have.

    I'm a floater. I found that out years ago, when I would do pool service. Sometimes you would have to dive down to the main drain cover to take it off, when it was full of water. The supervisor that I worked with, could dive down and stay no problem. I kept floating back up, it was really hard for me to stay down. As he would say, I floated back up like a Styrofoam float.

I have to admit, the underwater helo training looks pretty damn scary. Especially if you are claustraphobic.
