We're not going to bother getting our #submersible #safety-rated because “[t]he vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure,” is certainly a #novel take on things.

Not perhaps one I would have run with, but they didn't ask me.

For anyone wondering why safety and design is critical for submersibles, at 3800m depth the pressure is around 5400 psi. A #crack or #buckle converts you into a #pink #mist #instantly.
