What Happens When You Fall Off A Cruise Ship

Yep thats a mighty big height alright.

What happens when you fall off a cruise ship. How do cruise passengers fall off ships. But the ship will of course do a search of the last known location they fell. There crewmembers will typically check you in.

On February 23 2005 a man was spotted by cruise ship workers as he fell from the deck of the Crystal Harmony. As soon as an incident happens cruise ship crew will activate a button that pinpoints the place where the person went into the water. Maybe its a chair on your balcony.

The first problem is the fall itself. Remember the whole thing about some cruise ships being taller than the Eiffel Tower. The next problem is the ship is moving fast and you are in danger of getting sucked up into the propellers.

Its a vacation nightmare as a passenger falls 15 stories off a cruise ship balcony into the pitch black sea. Most people do not fall off ships as railings are purposefully built high enough to. At 610 am.

On a smaller ship like a destroyer or frigate it isnt too bad but on something like a Carrier a fall from the flight deck is high enough to cause damage depending on how you hit the water. A few of our galley crew saw a body fall past them and into the water and they immediately advised the bridge and threw a life ring a spokeswoman for Crystal Cruises said. Once you survive the fall you then need to survive in the water until you are rescued.

The ship will then stop and turn back to that area. If you fall from a great height not only do you risk breaking a limb as you hit the water but it will knock all the air out of you and you can drown very quickly. You can also get the breath knocked out of youor worse.
