what was the logic behind the NFL boaters intentionally taking off their life jackets when they could've lived?
according to Nick, the survivor, all 3 others intentionally took off the life jackets and disappeared... what is the logic behind them doing that?
if you were stranded like they were, do you think you would have survived like Nick or gone crazy like the 3 other guys?
There wasn't any, plain and simple. The thing is that if you're in the freezing water, starting to suffer from hypothermia, you don't think rationally. One of the effects of hypothermia is that you start to become delirious, you panic, and you don't think straight.
Another thing to think about is the fear of torture and suffering. In a situation like that, a man would know that death is likely, as your only chance is that someone notices you're gone and finds you, but generally, by the time you're gone long enough for people to worry, and then the time it takes for them to figure out what you were doing and for the rescue crews to actually find you in the middle of the ocean, chances of survival are slim
I liken it to a spy who is caught by the enemy. Most spys carry suicide pills, so if they're captured they can commit suicide. Most do because they know they're going to die anyway, the chances of the enemy releasing you, even if you cooperate, are slim, and if you're going to die anyway, suicide is better than being tortured endlessly and then ultimately killed. I mean, most people wouldn't want to live only to suffer for the rest of their life. Its the same with the boaters. If they thought they would never be found and knew they would die, why keep your lifejackets on just so you can live a day or 2 longer while suffering the whole time, until you freeze to death. In essence, they took the easy way out.
