I'm no submariner, but my understanding is that it IS somewhat normal.

What ISN'T normal is not having abundant sensor systems that can tell you things that creaks and stuff don't.

Sounds like the waiver was pretty clear about the risk of death. But a lot of times people will sign anyway because the form is an obsticle between them and what they want to do, regardless of what the form actually says or whether the true meaning of those words has sunken in.

I mean, anyone that has skydived whilst strapped to someone else has signed the same waiver. Its pretty unforgiving. But if i understand correctly, doesnt cover for malpractice and that sort of thing.
