Simon Le Bon survived two incidents involving water. The first incident was during the filming of the Wild Boys video. Simon was strapped to a windmill that was being used in a scene in the video when it suddenly stopped mid-way and left him with his head underwater. Everyone on the video shoot was trying to move the windmill blades so that they could get Simon's head out of the water.
The second incident took place off southern coast of Cornwall UK. Simon was asleep in the hull of his 50 ft yacht Drum while his team mates were operating the boat when it lost its keel and capsized with Simon, his brother, and two other crew members still trapped inside.
Simon was trapped for over 40 minutes while rescue workers tried to get him out of the boat.
