I recently saw a dutch program that tests all sorts of things (equivalent to 'your' Mythbusters). This time they visited a sea-survival centre in Holland.
In that centre they went into a machine that simulates a ditching with a helicopter in the sea (helicopter dunk-tank).
The actual ditching went very, very slow in the test,the opposit of a real ditching, so I thought.
Is it a good preparation for those, who might have to do it for real once? Or are they getting a false sence of security by only learning how a slow ditching feels and not a actual one?

Or is it to dangerous to increase the speed of the ditching a bit?
