🪂 Another death during the Navy SEALs' 'Hell Week' highlights the dangers of one of the military's hardest selection courses
This is the second fatal training incident for the Naval Special Warfare community in four months. In November 2021, Cmdr. Brian Bourgeois, commanding officer of SEAL Team 8, died of injuries he suffered during a nighttime fast-rope exercise at Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Hell Week is probably the most well-known part of any special-operations training regime in the world. During this period, students' physical and mental endurance is rigorously tested, with runs totaling over 200 miles, long hours of physical training, and swimming in the frigid waters of the Pacific.
Navy SEAL students are geared to overcome adversity and push through, often against odds or reason. For the Navy SEAL community, training deaths are not common, but they aren't rare.
