Falling From A Cruise
Three fortunate passengers recently went overboard from cruise ships. Yes, they were blessed indeed. All three were rescued alive. Is it that EASY to just "fall" off a cruise ship?
While we're pleased the passengers were found, our curiosity was piqued... what circumstances would result in an regular passenger ending up in the water?
Unless that regular passenger happened to be the height of a National Basketball Association super-star, our conclusion is that they might be behaving in a dangerous or silly manner.
For instance, the Cruise Diva is fairly average at 5'5" tall and if she sat on the railing, she could lose her equilibrium and tumble overboard. She might fall by leaning w-a-y too far over the rail, but it would be quite a stretch. In addition, she could also fall and topple into the sea if she were standing on a chair. Amber Blecker, a top travel agent with Cruises, Inc., reminds us of "a long-running joke about the sport of balcony bungee jumping being a new ship activity," and warns that, "please, if you're going to do it, don't forget the bungee."
We're also reminded that since it's spring, it also seems to be the silly season. That's traditionally when otherwise sensible young adults move down on warm weather resorts to do what tradition demands: get drunk and lose control.
We don't mean to imply that most, or even many, man overboard situations include spring breakers; however, we are struck by those that can be traced to an excess of enthusiasm and the high consumption of alcohol. Coincidentally, most such incidents seem to occur late at night.
