Escape module has impact attenuation bags which inflate and soften the touch down with a secondary purpose to keep it floating right side up in water. If the module has a leak or water gets in when you are riding a wave then the left seater will plead with the right seater to vigourously move the stick back and forth to operate the bilge pump.
Never did find the bilge though! Come on Navy - where would it have been?
If you are close to the hard stuff beneath then it is not a good idea to pull one of those black and yellow handles until you are right side up.
Anyone know the highest IAS/Mach No seperation?
