Introduction: It's a normal September day for a bunch of freshers at Exeter Uni - BBQ, beers and banter on the quayside before a night out at the union. But a split second decision almost costs one student their life when he goes into the water to retrieve his favourite baseball cap. Within 30 seconds cold water shock is starting to have an effect and just 60 seconds after entering the water, he is almost immobilised through fatigue and muscle cramps caused by the cold water. The Cold Reality lets you watch the drama unfold through the eyes of one of the students using 360 degree film, right through to your rescue from the water and evacuation to awaiting emergency services at Exeter Quay.
