bizarre Oil Rig Escape System

I'd imagine in an actual emergency, where the rig is engulfed in flames, the emergency escape would likely be overwhelmed and rendered useless as panic stricken workers clogged it all up - each trying to be first down into it. One or two would probably make it out before the bodies piled up and trapped the rest.

That was pretty cool...
Looks like more fun than it is.

That's how babies should be born. It would be like their very first playground experience....lol
I thought they'd have these orange rescue boats, launched from a ramp. The passengers sitting strapped in these 'always upright/perpendicular' seats. You see them on modern ships as well.
I absolutely forgot how these seats and technic is called.. even in German.. no result in my memory.
HORRIBLE!

That is the orange rescue boat they landed in though of which you speak. It's samsies. Just like the critter habit trail is now their ramp. I don't think oil rigs were as high up offshore in the 1940s when you seem to think you were born.
'Kardanische Aufhängung' (gimbal) was the word I didn't recall.. thanks for giving me a bump. 💙
