Does anyone else feel compelled to read any article with a headline like this? I know if I don't read it and then for some reason find myself on a sinking helicopter the only thing I will be thinking about is why didn't I read that article!

As it turns out, this article only talks about specialised training and special devices and the dangers of crashing in cold oceans. Probably not many handy hints for the casual helicopter passenger.

Now if you will ever crash you will also be remembering very well how you used two very important minutes of your life in order to comment on HN about how the article was not really useful, instead of looking up for some damn precious helicrash survival step guide. Nevermind, it will be my last thought, as well.

I'm the same way, but then I figured that I won't be regretting it for long.

Takeaway for us in the real world: locate an exit before you start moving.
