The point is you can just step up into a life raft that step saved you 0.5 million $
Seen a number of videos of privileges still floating after a for or aft puncture, so happy to have ours. My wife also sent me an article from a cat that had struck something with water tight compartment on a passage, shoved some stuff up there to give the bow some shape, and made it a few hundred miles back. I can’t seem to find the article anymore, but maybe someone here remembers it? Maybe a year ago?
