Could you please check the text? Helicopter survival training. Today I took a special course that I’ve heard a lot about, but never done by myself. It’s a helicopter underwater escape training, which is intended for workers who travel by helicpoter over the water to get a workplace, such as Oil and Gas platforms. Since I’m going to visit a marine platform for supervising a pipeline in-line inspection, it was mandatory to take this training. The training teaches survival skills when a helicopter is ditching on the sea, including escaping a cabin simulator when it’s inserted. I also learned group survival skills to be seen by a rescue helicopter on a water surface. I was a bit nervous before the practical part of the course expecting how challenging it´s going to be. However, in reality it was pretty easy and I successfully had done all the exercises. The fact that I swim decently and feel comfortable enough in the water definitely helped me. When I imagine how it would look like in the real life, the cold water of the ocean is frightening me. And the level of stress is going to be much higher in that case. Anyway, I´m glad that now at least I know how to behave in these scenarios. Thank you!
