​I don’t know if I would jump over. It’s probably one of those “reaction” to stimuli — in USAF survival skrule, we were taught that in a crisis, 80% of people will “freeze”, 15% will “panic”, and 5% (or less) will immediately take effective personal action due to prior planning or training. We had to tread water for 60 minutes although we were allowed to use our pants as a life jacket as we were trained. Not sure I could do that now. Kudos to the crew and cruise line for being prepared for an accident or a drunken fool.
