How to roll from a rib?

I saw a reply to a post about getting things caught up when rolling back off of a rib, It an’t funny until you see this.

This looks like a planned event. You can see a strap has been secured around the rail.

It is funny.

Nope that's not an RIB, thats a real boat. If it was the funny video it would be the poor b*****d trying to get back on the damn thing.

Looks like an apnea exercise to me!

Rigid InflataBle.


Rigid (normally fibre glass hull) with tubes around the sides to provide its buoyancy. Planing craft, usually fast. Great in rough weather.

It's a non-brand specific reference to a category of boats that look just like a rigid bottomed Zodiac.

Note to self,…. Ensure the technical specification/descriptions right in future, even for humorous posts.
