Can I add - Review of current survival suit/lifejacket/rebreather and their help/hindrance in the evacuation. I would suggest that the survivors from this incident's views would be invaluable to this aspect.

When I went offshore first, we went in jeans and tee shirt, with a lifejacket in a little pouch tied round our waist. Before I left, I was feeling like the Michelin man with all the clobber we had on. I just wonder if we perhaps have gone too far down the"survival" route to the detriment of "escape" or perhaps I've got the wrong end of the stick.
