I don't recall the full episode but a few things stood out.

  • it would be cold as hel, so properly strapping a lifevest around some flotsam seems iffy
  • isn't saltwater more buoyant or is that old fishwife's tale? Also idk if that test body of water is salty.

Yep, saltwater has more buoyancy, and the higher the salinity, the more buoyant the water.
