Shark Screen in a Simulated Ocean Survival Environment.
Abstract
Experimental ocean and pool tests of the shark screen are described and the results of the tests are compared. The following information is presented: (1) proper instructional methods, (2) human operation characteristics, (3) mean operation time, and (4) operational influences of training experience, injury status, water condition, and flotation collar dimensions. Design changes of the shark screen are recommended to improve operator performance. Survival uses of the shark screen other than shark protection are recommended. (Author)
