Another method of boat launching!

[Graham B]

I am over in Bergen on a course with work at the minute for free fall lifeboats.
The new ship I am joining has been fitted with them and I must say, what a laugh this course is!
Excuse the swearing in the video.

The boat is dropped from just over 100 feet and you are in free fall for about 2.5 seconds!
Great fun!
