As far as I know, only the Coast Guard has a boat, about 40' long, used in the Pacific Ocean off of, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, which is designed to turn 360 degrees under water and right itself, and yes, the Coasties do wear helmets and use seatbelts on that boat. Do not expect to see one on Lake Winnipesaukee.

FLL you speak of the USCG 47 foot Motor Life Boat, the latest in a line of MLBs that are self righting and used for heavy weather/surf rescues.
