Hope things turn out good - dangerous stuff out there .
Oftentimes companies put money above safety , a lot better these days than it was back in the 80's when I worked out there .
I was in a helicopter crash [PHI] petroleum helicopter inc. Dec. 28th 1985 in the roughest weather I'd ever seen in the Gulf . 15' seas . Whiplash/broke nose/loose teeth hit my face on my knee - really hard .
You are a very lucky Man.
Went down right by the rig I worked on , they had laid the crane boom down for copter landing , several coworkers saw it happen . There was a field boat in the area - got to us in 35-40ish minutes .I dragged life raft out pulled the pin [co2 tank] it inflated real nice like then deflated about as fast , stop valve malfunction . Pondered how I got sand in my mouth way out there - it many small chips of my teeth .
Lost at sea would be a horrible way to go
