labatt will become famous soon enough
All I can say is that you can't judge these incidents without knowing all the facts. Things can get pretty dicey in bad weather, access to supplies down below can be difficult when your cabin looks like a hurricane hit it (which is why we place all our important stuff in a ditch bag right by the companionway) and panicked decisions can be made when the adrenaline rushes. When out in bad weather, thinking your life is at risk, you don't always notice the details - you make assumptions, such as your life raft floor being there.
