Can someone tell me how they do this?

Do they have seatbelts in the bridge? If you were standing in the bridge, you're looking at moving up and down at least 10-15m (30-45 feet), it not more, in just a couple seconds. One would think you'd be pretty beat up by the end of the day.

What about all of the equipment everywhere on the ship? Most importantly, what if you had to take a dump? They have seatbelts in there?

If i had to guess, mine would be they brace and bend their knees a bit absorb the bumps.

You better don't need to visit the toilet in that kind of weather...!? And no tea for me, thanks.

Seat belts are such a great invention....I hope they have some...

That's a steady hand the camera man has.

I feel sorry for the mechanic, the constant lifting of the screws must play havoc with the engines.

Anyone know why a ship I was on shook very violently every time the
screws came out of the water?

I know it's a bad thing to happen, but why would the whole boat shake or
vibrate so much?
