  It's alright buddy all you have to do is sit there in the wind tunnel, i'll be in the control room to look after you. I'll control the wind speed and the rain volume. You'll only be getting wet for about half an hour so don't worry Two technicians deliver the rain through a couple of fire hoses. ( I can control the pressure they use so they cannot get out of hand.) the reason they are dressed in thick black rubber suits is because they are in there all day and you are only there for a thirty minute test. it's not too bad.
