Roadtoad wrote: » Agree totally. Any time the last line of safety gets used means there was no adequate safety plan. A guy with a mask and wet suit, but no scuba, in churned up water was inadequate. They could easily use a very discrete lanyard tied to the jumper's ankle, invisible to the camera. All the beasting of the other programmes might have broken ankles, spirits, ribs, but in that moment they risked brain injury with NO BACKUP PLAN. Kick the Directors out!

Tools.

Having no fear indicates a person has either no situational awareness, emotional intelligence, forward planing or appreciation for a given situation. This is troublesome as a military leader because you need to be able to identify what constitutes as a threat. Then how to either mitigate against it or how best to deal with it with available resources. In #3's example, he was restrained and going into the drink with slim possibility of self recovery. His task was to step off and land straight, hit the bottom and use his legs to spring up to the surface. He chose to ignore his insructions. He jumped off, landed further out and at an angle which resulted in a diagonal decent to the bottom where he just lay there like a rock. The debris from the splash made visibility and DS recovery more difficult. He displayed no situational awareness, no emotional intelligence, no forward planing and no appreciation for a given situation. He is stupid. Fear makes you think, keeps you sharp, makes you consider all options.

Purple Mountain wrote: » I don't know if anyone can explain this but one of the DS last night said that the recruits needed fear (think it was in relation to number 3 and the quarry sinking). But then when we see recruits stumble with their fears like abseiling face forward then the DSs tell them to get themselves together and do what they need to. How do you explain the balance?

The first half with them being buried underground looked okay, I was sitting there thinking grand and handy, all they have to do is breathe and stay calm. But them the pipe started filling up the hole with freezing cold water, holy fcuk, fair play to anyone for not panicking in that situation.
