Out of Control... "BAILOUT... BAILOUT... BAILOUT!!!"

Take a (fictional) ride with a test pilot on a test flight when everything goes to pot.  This is about how it would feel, and about how fast it would all happen.  I haven't been quite this close to the edge, but I have multiple colleagues who've been there.  Quite a rush! 

The message?  Plan ahead, work as a team, and cover one another's assets!
