My mind immediately goes to the idea that they’d have had some sort of high speed search and rescue nearby along with transponders and whatnot, which goes to show just how much more complicated it must be than movies and shit have made us believe.
I just want a little GPS thing with a balloon string. Once you get your head above water, pull the ripcord and a little radio just screams a pulse in the radio waves.
They gear these guys up with all the throwing knives but not a floatable transponder???

I thought they usually have a beacon in the life vests? But idk what the operational limitations were for using them.
