It takes quite a while to get out... Ana waiting to see if she can claim insurance or not....

Is that why that guy had to give it a bit of a kick before it went over!


Verytricky, you were underwater for ages and those safety dudes around you seemed rather calm.

Having never done a dunk test I dont know whats involved in getting out of the capsule upside down but I ran out of breath lying on the sofa so Im doomed already.

Nice shell suit by the way Jon

It's a wet cotton race suit (lightweight) for the hot gulf sun.
Bit of a 'wet race suit competition' going on there.

Ana is faster getting out, but does somersaults in the cockpit first....

This was last month, using the circut racing capsule. They normally fit the offshore capsule, which has a larger roof opening door, but for some reason no this time. It is very ver tight in there. I had to get one shoulder out then the other, then wiggle my hips free by turning sideways. And the cockpit floods immediately and it is very very wet!
