straws?
if youre in need of a drink you take your helmet OFF,,,irrespective of canon or not,, the 30 seconds to walk away from the public could be the differance between a drink or face first on the ground, then hospital.
dehydration works very quickly and it can easily cause kidney failure in the fittest healthiest person due to the loss of large amounts of sodium.
It can also, very quickly, cause, Cramps, Hypotension, Heat stroke and can also kill in extreme cases
Sorry scotty, but air con isnt good as it drys you out even quicker,,,
as it dries the sweat off your body which is how the body cools itself quicker,,,,best thing to
do is stand in the shade, in a breeze or draft, where possible
i guess everyone thinks i dissappear all the time for a smoke?
i take breaks often as i have suffered thru dehydration in the army as a younger bloke.
(radio op for a day, very fit and did not smoke!!) only time ive ever been in an army helicopter and i do not remember it.Got airlifted to hospital. and a 3 day thumping headache.and every bone and muscle ache, an experience i never want again, nor would i wish on anyone
Everyone should be able to responsibly maintain their own regular drink breaks as not every wrangler will be able to help everyone !!
any job will allow you to rehydrate at any time and this is just a hobby and not one worth dying for,,,
