But we still get out and do things. But we do try to do things in a reasonable manner to increase the odds of a reasonable outcome. And this is even more important when something has already gone badly wrong. IIRC there was experiments on crew survivability during Victorian age, done putting mannequins (and in these happy pre-PETA days, also sheeps &c.) on stricken target ships, and counting splinting &c in the mannequins after the live fire exercise and counting dead/dying sheeps, the results was substantially the same: splintered mannequin and intact mannequin together. Best regards from Italy, dott. Piergiorgio. Best was a bear in the B-58 escape capsule. 1. One ****ed off bear 2. Lots of bear shat in the capsule. We used dummies. Then we used enlisted parachute testers. Then we certified the system. Go figure. Best was the B-1 bottom bailout (are you out of your @#$^%@$%&@#$ mind????). |
