It can and does, sadly. All the tech in the world didn't stop it a few years ago and couldn't if something happened now.

Have to say this was a very interesting thread. I have a friend who was really bright in school, an old Pres boy. Back in the early 80s went san f'do tech, did MET, topped the class, straight A student. Got a job offshore, spent one night on the rig, got on a chopper the next day, went home and never went back.

He became a school teacher and got married and had kids. Hes very happy today.

Never went offshore again, I guess its not for everybody.

Geodude, you sound like a very intelligent young man, you could do just as well on shore. Go where your heart leads you. You have your youth, lots of time to do whatever you want.

Normally people pay off for house and one vehicle and then scrambling to get a land job. Geodude doh seem to care to leave the field now after he has those.

Another thing, some good advice for you young fellars. when yuh getting married, is good to have your woman sacrifice with you, side by side, when you getting house and land. Dont give them everything easy easy so.

When you give them everything easy, they dont appreciate it. If yuh have trouble in yuh marriage, they will want to take it from you.

I just handed the pilot my phone and yelled "FLIGHT MODE" at him. He look at it, hand me back and give me a thumbs up. So I record this.
On the rig itself, the company man said I'll need a hot work permit to record anything on the main deck with any device that's not intrinsically safe.
