      I don’t recall the full episode but a few things stood out.

      • it would be cold as hel, so properly strapping a lifevest around some flotsam seems iffy
      • isn’t salremoveder more buoyant or is that old fishwife’s tale? Also idk if that test body of water is salty.

        Yep, salremoveder has more buoyancy, and the higher the salinity, the more buoyant the water.

      Only if they had the knowledge and abilities (and time to come up with a plan) of two people whose job it is to come up with exactly this kind of thing.

      Sure, it was possible. That doesn’t make it probable.

        “Climb on the door” seems like something within their knowledge and abilities.

          I take it you didn’t actually watch the mythbusters episode, then. If they both just climbed on the door they would have both died. They would have had to jury-rig a contraption using the life-preserver Rose was wearing to survive… barely.

                So you’d think she would have tried to get him on the door. What with him being her one true love and all.

                  And he probably would have said “no, I want you to live” her being his one true love and all.

                    Okay? She still didn’t try. You don’t seem to be realizing that as an obviously silly flaw in the whole idea that they’re each other’s soulmates.
