'Rush escape'
A serious submarine accident, even in relatively shallow water, presents multiple problems simultaneously, each one with the potential to kill. So many survival issues flow through a underwater accident that it has been compared to being caught in a avalanche, trapped in a blaze, adrift in outer space, and lost at sea---all at the same time. The Royal Navy studied the problem of how submariners can make lighting-fast decisions in a crisis. Their experts came up with a radical solution, simple enough to be applied without thought. If conditions are deteriorating fast, don't even discuss the merits of evacuating the submarine---just do it. The object of this technique called a "rush escape," is to try and cheat death by taking immediate and drastic action, before you are physically or psychologically overwhelmed by the disaster.
