The worldwide incidence of military and civilian over-water helicopter accidents and the problems related to survival are described. Typical accident scenarios are reviewed from the moment the occupant steps onboard a helicopter to the pre-flight briefing through to the accident itself, to the difficulties with escape (commonly from underwater and in darkness), to the rescue and return safely to dry land. Improvements to crashiworthiness and life support equipment in current in-servive and future helicopters are proposed. A syllabus for underwater escape training is also discussed.
