Comment on U.S. Navy tests camera system that spots sailors overboard

Of course it is also reasonable to ask why so many U.S. Navy sailors appear to prefer the obliterating sea to keeping doing whatever they are doing but abstracted from that this is a safety technology all large ships should have.
Kind of like when Foxconn put those nets around their tall buildings because the slave workers kept jumping.

I don’t like Foxconn necessarily, but the plants they started putting those nets in were basically cities with tens or hundreds of thousands of people. I don’t think you can put all the blame on the company since any group that large is going to have some suicidal people.
It’s the same in cities that build nets along the edges of bridges, or gates along train platforms. Doesn’t mean that the city is a hellscape, just reducing risks for suicidal ideation.
