Oil rig workers evacuate by sliding down mesh tube into life raft
Original: Oil rig evacuation. You slide down a giant mesh tube straight into a life raft at sea.

The system is designed for rapid abandonment in emergencies, and its unusual look has prompted surprise and curiosity online about how such rescues actually work.
