I don't know if he's going for a 'see, it can be done' feat of will, but he's either going to go missing or die, maybe both. Either way, that looks uncomfortable at best for an extended period of time.

V2 is basically like a buoy when everything’s sealed down. I can literally seal the hatch, sit in the harness, and ride out any storm while she gets thrown around. That is why we have made the boat quite tender because we want her to roll. It might seem odd, but if you’ve got a boat that is absolutely set vertically with a massive keel on the bottom, a big wave could come in, hit the rig and break the rig, so we will roll; it will just be like a great fairground ride.”

yeah. a fairground ride that youre sealed inside of while vomiting as you are mercilessly tumbled around in circles for hours and hours
