What happens when you fall off a boat at night (it’s worse than you think)

I’ve practiced man-overboard at night—it’s terrifying. You vanish in seconds: no horizon, cold shock, and engines drown your voice. In this video I show what really happens, why the rescue window is minutes, and the gear/habits that save you: PFD light, AIS beacon, tether, tight watch. 00:00 Intro 00:55 You disappear instantly — even with lights on deck 03:07 The boat keeps going — and no one notices 05:19 Finding you again is nearly impossible 07:30 Your survival clock starts ticking — fast 09:38 The gear you didn’t wear is what kills you 11:11 Ending Copyright Disclaimer This video may include copyrighted material used under the “fair use” principle for educational and informational purposes.
