SeaSafe - Marine pilot falling off a ships ladder with his integrated life jacket coat

Found on YouTiube. Created by "David McCloy".

This is a video I had captured off U.S Coast from a merchant vessel as the Pilot was transferred from our Ship to Shore via Helicopter.
All recordings were done using N8 (unbelievable clarity!)

The San Juan pilot boat coming next to our ship.
