Amen to that.Originally posted by gsbaker:
We are seeing more drivers doing this, especially as more "safety" stuff in the cockpit makes it increasingly difficult to exit in a hurry. The enemy is panic, and if one practices enough, bailing becomes second nature and the chance of panic diminishes dramatically.
That's why the military trains and trains and trains.
That's a lot of the secret of martial arts - do the same thing without thinking or panicing.
When I went sky diving we had a 6 hour ground school that was actually 1 hour of information and 5 hours of repetition.
As you said, you want to be able to do things w/o thinking so that even when your mind say FIRE!, your sub-conscious says "pull fire handle, pull pins, disconnect belts, drop net, open door, and GET THE HELL OUT."
