Fully Articulated Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 The bags won't keep it afloat anyway. The MGB by itself weighs more than an overloaded B-206! They are just supposed to help keep things clean-side up. Given that the machine struck the water, dug in the blades and immediatley rolled, the bags are - - moot.

Mac-Ex-wafu Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Merely an observation,,,,nothing more, flot bags are only supposed to slow the descent under the surface and aid recovery, holding it ON the surface is only a bonus. All crew made it out safely which is a great effort,, Just thought they had submersion actuators which are live when the ESSB is set, it's a bit worrying when you see the number of cabs with flot bags fitted that end up in the oggin that didn't have the bags deployed whether it be automatically or manually deployed.
