A minor diversion, if I may. There's an interesting aspect of the personal kit used which helped in survival - in the Safety analysis section, the piece about "Egress from the submerged helicopter" there's a section about the use of extension cords, which allowed the helmets to detach from the intercom jacks and not trap the crew by their helmets.

Reminded me of the accident in Scotland to G-PLMA ( https://assets.publishing.service.go...996_G-PLMA.pdf page 29 ) where the helmet strap caused the fatality because the helmet didn't disconnect.
