I hope Old Bald Guy will contribute. One of the benefits of militay training is going through a crash simulator upside down in the dark. About the only danger I face is driving Pacific Coast Highway. I have my window allready opened to smell the salt air and exchange non verbal communications with mid life crisis men in red sportscars anyway. Seriously, spend some time in a swimming pool, SUPERVISED and practise swimming through a door or window size framework of PVC pipe etc. I 'rescued' one car sinking. A man was backing his boat down the ramp at Tillamook Bay first day of summer. He hit the gas and panicked. I was trying to get underway for bar patrol. I watched the boat and trailer submerge, then the airstream camper and finally the truck. It takes a LOT of Horsepower and fear to manage that. I secured my lifeboat, took off my boots and waded into the water. I opened the door and unbuckled the seat belt. The driver could have drowned us both in the classic clinging reaction. I normally would have socked him. But, I was only up to my waist and more or less dragged him to high ground. My crew asked if I wanted the silver or gold livesaving or the Coast Guard medal. I said I wanted a dry pair of bellbottoms. These sardine like fish had come to shore in a huge school. One had swum up my left leg <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> First and foremost: take a deep breath mentally and physically if this happens.
