I hate, hate, HATE, the idea of being trapped in the water upside down. Or down upside. Or whatever side. It’s one of the worst deaths I can imagine. Thankfully, if you are a USAF helicopter pilot, there’s a way out:
An aircrew member attending the water survival training course sits upside down in the shallow water egress trainer chair at Moody Air Force Base, Ga., Aug. 9, 2012. The SWET chair tests the aircrew member’s ability to breathe using a helicopter emergency egress device and successfully get out of the seatbelt while being underwater.
That’s good, but looking at this image makes me nauseous.

Doesn’t look so bad.
Despite being an avid recreational diver this makes me feel slightly sick, even knowing they have a supply of oxygen.
I think the scariest part of this is getting water up your nose.
The maximum breath-hold times of a healthy, fully clothed, individual is reduced to 10-20 seconds if suddenly immersed in cold water- if you can’t escape in that time there’s a high probability you’ll drown.
You watched that show didn’t you
Looks like fun
I’ve almost drowned before by accident, it was only scary for approx 5-8seconds then pure bliss takes over like you’re in the most relaxed state ever!
When I took kayak classes off the coast of Portsmouth, we had to forcefully flip our kayak over such that we were totally upside down. It is not only massively counter intuitive to intentionally capsize, but being upside down (again, fully clothed) is nothing short of terrifying, even if your instructor and classmates are on hand to help if anything goes wrong.
