every 4 years I have to do the HUET underwater emergency escape training in a helicopter simulator - being strapped in with an emergency re-breather (basically a bag on your life jacket that you exhale your lungful of breath into before being submerged) whilst being turned upside down under water, and having to pull yourself through a window that you have to punch out with your elbow first is pretty much my least favourite thing to do - last time I did it I released the seat belt too early whilst still capsizing and ended up floating up into the body of the HUET and panicking - the guy opposite me saw me decide to release early and did the same - so both of us in 'freefall' in a washing machine - had to be pulled into the small air space (the floor, now the roof) by the divers
It's coming up next year and I'm already fucking dreading it
