The bow design is configured to give a soft water
entry and reduce g-forces on the occupants, while at the
same time producing optimum surfacing speed for the
typical merchant ship drop heights, allowing the boat
to speed clear of the ship under its drop momentum. A
freefall simulator system is also available, which allows
crews to train in safety.
