Are you saying that it is impossible for a 275# person on an ice covered deck in a wind storm to get injured to the point that they need physical assistance? Who do you expect to be capable of that? This is why I suggested a limit, in order to manage the risk to those other people. Mind you I'm perfectly willing to be wrong if you can make a persuasive case, but so far your posting only addresses your own personal safety when my post was about everybody else.
Yeah, I didn’t say that.
First, this is about cable rescue. Not getting hustled on a helicopter that lands on deck. So an ordinary slip and fall does not result in a cable rescue.
Second, the decks are not covered in ice.
Third, cable rescues would happen in some weird double event where you have major mechanical problems and some situation where a boat can not just dock. I’ve literally never seen it. In a blow out, major catastrophic event, the lemon boats are your first and preferred method of evac. I have done that. It’s unpleasant several hours.
Fourth, if you are a big guy, you literally sign a waiver that says “I can’t be cable evaced” and you take the other options. No one is in “danger” except the guy who agreed to not take this option.
I had to sign the same waiver in the Army because I busted height requirements. My Kevlar basically made it down to my bellybutton.
It’s all part of the “joy” of being a giant.
As said before, this is much ado about nothing. I’m personally more worried about blood clots in my legs during long flights.
