And then he ran out and there were the two guys that had been on deck

One had, we are attached with these tethers and then we have a line that runs from the bow of the boat to the stern of the boat.

So the idea is that you can attach to that, go to the front of the boat to do something and come back.

And so what happened is when the boat flipped to 180 degrees, he got sort of thrown clear, but he was still attached.

And so he somehow managed to just slide along

the rope and so because he looked up and he could see that there was a keel and there was a rudder and he didn't want the boat to flip again and obviously be hit by those things so he decided that being at the front of the boat was the safest thing and so he was still attached the boat the boat was upside down and then when it flipped back up because he was attached to it it sort of flipped him back on and the other guy he was steering and so when we'd gone upside down he had his life jacket on

But he had gone through the wheel.

It was a big wheel.

And so now he was upside down underwater, trapped in the boat.

And so he had to unclip himself and swim out.

And luckily, you have two choices on your life jacket.

You can have an auto-inflating life jacket, which as soon as it gets the pressure of the water, it inflates.

Or you can have a manual life jacket.

And when you pull the ripcord, like you see on every aircraft, when they do the demonstration, then the life jacket inflates.

Now, we choose to use the manual inflate because we think it's safer.

And this is the reason why.

If he had had the auto inflate, he would have then been immediately buoyant and been trapped underneath the boat without any air and would have drowned.

Instead, he was able to swim out

And then inflate his life jacket.

But unfortunately, now he found himself some distance from the boat going, oh, this is not ideal.
