Picture diving off the bow of your toon at WOT. THAT's going extravehicular.

Now picture trying to do the crawl stroke between the toons as the boat overtakes you at 40 MPH. That's survivability.

In theory, you would be unscathed. At zero knots, you could probably do it without incident. Try when the boats doing 40 MPH, and you may not survive to see if you'll be julienned by the prop. You may already be pureed by the thrashing. Gosh, I love that I can mix kitchen terminology with boating terminology! :biggrin2
