Before we can go to an off-shore oil rig we have to go through extensive training including escaping from a mock helicopter with four other people which is upside down and sinking in a training pool...but no life raft escape skills. Interesting.

A few friends have had to under go training on oil rigs. None of them described having to escape from an upside down helicopter.
They did have to go through some kind of training for the escape capsule that was on the rig. Basically an enclosed life boat that people would get in and be dropped into the ocean. They only trained them to get into the capsule and strap into the seats. They were told it was too dangerous to actually drop them into the ocean as part of the training.
