How does body fat affect survival estimates?

Higher body fat percentages provide more natural insulation, which slows the rate of heat loss and extends the estimated survival time.

Can I include wetsuit thickness in my calculations?

Yes, you can use `get_survival_estimates` or `get_risk_level` with the `wetsuitThickness` parameter to account for neoprene insulation.

What is the difference between hypothermia onset and swim failure?

Hypothermia onset is when core temperature begins to drop below normal, while swim failure is the point where muscle coordination is lost, making movement impossible.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides critical physiological modeling for cold water immersion. It calculates survival milestones including total survival time, the onset of hypothermia, and the point of swim failure. Users can use get_survival_estimates to model specific individuals based on weight, body fat, and wetsuit thickness, or get_risk_level to assess immediate danger. The tool also allows for comparing different survival scenarios and evaluating the protective impact of neoprene insulation.
