520 _aReports a study of helicopter crashes in water to determine what effect various factors had on survival. Overall the fatality rate was 25% with an inverse correlation between warning time and fatality. However in over half of incidents the warning time was not known. Highlights the importance of emergency breathing equipment such as EBS. Recommends that lack of warning time, and how to survive in water after a crash, should be topics of study in all marine survival/aircraft ditching courses.
