no life rings on Radiance of the Seas upper outdoor decks.

If you consider the distance of any deck from the sea, it's rather like an inexperienced person performing a high dive. If they don't manage to break the surface tension of the sea, it's like making a high dive into solid concrete. Something is going to get broken. Add to this shock if the water is very cold and it is a rare case indeed that there is survival. If injury from the fall doesn't render the individual unable to swim effectively, the shock of cold water can cause the mouth to involuntarily open for some. Drowning is another possibility. If the fall is not fatal, but results in a broken arm or leg that's not good. Efforts to swim can signal sharks as they are attuned to the swim patterns of the injured. One thing I noticed on a couple of people who were pulled out of the water; each of them had a collapsed lung. I assume, this is from the impact of hitting the water. They are lucky they lived.
