That survival raft would be a fun amusement park ride ;-)

There's a couple of videos around of "test" launchings of those.
Apparently one makes the launch look quite harrowing. Unfortunately
that video didn't play for me and I forgot to bookmark it so couldn't
go back to try again. I guess I could search, but too lazy.

I bet it is quite a jolt when it hits the water!
