I'd like to understand why the mast break was below the first spreaders and not above. Makes me question the integrity of the inner/lower shrouds.

Great idea to deliberately destroy things on a boat and video it. What’s next? How about blowing up the gas stove to film real experience of dealing with major fire damage, injury and death?

I can't believe the camera operator missed the mast breaking

Just by looking at how did the toe rail, stanchions and hand rails ended up, it can be easily extrapolated to the head of any of the crew members. Simply stupid to perform a test in such conditions. You know it will come down, but you don't know how, when or where it will come down. WEAR BLOODY SAFETY GEAR. Also, the helmsman is not using a lifejacket, why? Is he smarter than the rest?
Otherwise it is a good video.

That's scary, even when you know it's going to happen.

Was all an anti climax, was expecting more drama. Shocking how it just collapses into notjing after one shroud break though.

We have lost mast twice in bad weather conditions. Shure, it was small trimaran (5 meters long) and only 3-5 miles from marina, but we saved the mast, sails and all stuff each time. No cutting. First, set out sails. Second, tie mast to the hull.

Great videos but more tips would be good ie: Proper safety gear on you and on your boat is a must. NEVER be in a hurry! ALWAYS carry a bit less sail than you would need to max out because when the winds quickly pick up (or gusts) it can make it much harder to reduce sail (safely) and it can also easily create a disaster like a dismasting. Add high seas at night with the husband (or wife) overboard and only the spouse left to do everything and you will have a real disaster.

* ALWAYS have fully charged waterproof marine handheld radios on everyone when topside and in heavy conditions or at night, ALWAYS have everyone with their overboard night survival gear either sewn into their Mae West Vest jacket pockets or in a fanny pack (pen flares, strobe and small flashlight, space blanket, large heavy trash bag, thin strong line, signaling mirror, swiss army knife, spare radio battery fully charged etc...

If this had been an actual emergency, what is wrong with cutting all the wreckage loose and motoring away, leaving the broken mast to sink? I would think that saving the rest of the boat would be the priority, and the value of the broken mast would be minimal.

I would like to have had a more formal evaluation of which method was best/ effective/efficient to cut the rigging? It seems like basic bolt cutters worked but took lots of effort? The shooting thingy seemed easiest but least practical for people to carry?
