5:02, but I don't know what happened... I was steadily above water but died anyway. I think hypothermia got me or something. Doubt it was the fingernail he kept screaming about.

Also, my "friend" laughing and waving goodbye is a jerk.
4:57. Same here. I was doing fine and then it just ended.

 
4:48, ended for no good reason. Nice rescue effort by the "buddy."

Do the French freak out about their fingernails in the water or something? And has this guy ever heard of treading water? Didn't seem like the roughest seas.

 
Just read up on it - apparently an elaborate ad for life preservers. Dude's nails were supposed to be falling off due to the cold. I'm not an expert an oceanography, but considering that he and FrenchWhiteFlagBuddy had a nice exchange before the boom hit DeadDude about what a nice day it was, severely cold water temperatures did not seem like an immediate problem. Nor do I see how a life vest would necessarily be of immediate assistance with that problem.

 
found out my computer blows. 6 minutes in and i'm still on the boat. 6:45 was when my guy said "oh no". I guess i need to look into a new laptop....

Air temp and water temp can vary drastically. They have very different heat retention factors.
I'm aware, and the dew point factors in as well. Deep ocean water can be cold even on warm days, although usually not at disabling temperatures six feet or so from the surface. The idea of getting hypothermia in about two minutes (from hitting water to fingernail issue) in shirtsleeves weather is pretty unlikely. And again, if somehow the water was near or below freezing, I don't see how a life vest - the product being pimped - would be of much assistance.
