Do you really expect someone in a storm to catch a liferaft that has been dropped near them. Have you ever done sea drills?
As you are a helo man you may not be aware of the procedure for an ASR drop.
Liferafts leak.
Civvie aircraft liferafts should not even go by the name of liferaft.
Not all survivors are in stormy conditions.
