IMO this could be reduced (alot) with today's technology. IMO it is excessive. Rafts could be made to go longer than every year and batteries don't cost that much and the installation of them is not that hard.

PS....I got the breakdown of the costs... it was basically $300 higher due to flair replacement. They also had to replace the "asprin" That was not expensive but I would think cyanide pills would be more useful.
I hope you never have to get it one.
But you won't complain after that.
