That's an interesting way to look at it. I usually have a somewhat similar
discussion when I'm teaching people on our 30 footer... asking what would it
feel like to fall off the boat head first onto the dock. If you don't like
that idea, don't jump!

Someone once suggested to me pretending like the freeboard was 1000 feet
and then thinking how your would approach deckwork.

I'll admit to being rather casual on this point but I'm really thinking
about this.
