Its ok. No problem. I dont know that is a tough decision. What would you pick? Maybe the one getting constricted...it is slow but a lot faster then freezing.
You have obviously never suffured hypothermia if you think that freezing would be a better way to go. When constricted you are usualy unconscious before any bones start to break. Hypothermia hurt and causes you to lose your mind, i have been involved in a few hypothermia rescues and there not very nice people suffer paradoxical undressing this is one of the last stages before death the victim will actualy feel as though there skin is on fire because of a last release of blood to the skin and so they strip there clothes off while still in the cold. Shrap you ought to know a little of what hypothermia is like you worked as a crab fisherman right? Bradon
