Like the S-92 rafts in the front of the sponsons that themselves are designed to seperate in the event of a crash.
My understanding is that the part that contains the liferaft is not designed to detach, just the fuel tank.
The picture of the post crash Cougar machine in the hangar shows this.
Good try - but wrong. More squib66 bs
