The HMTS is an amazing training device. I had the opportunity to be one of the testers to see if someone with no training in hoisting could figure out how to operate the system. The HMTS is 100% safe--you can't fall out when you're secured properly--yet an adrenaline rush because the simulation is immersive. Accurate conning and, more importantly, accurate delivery and return of rescue personnel and devices takes a lot of practice and the HMTS provides that.
