In 40F water for 4-6 hours and you're looking at a severe case of death.

and even a mild case of death can kill you...be careful out there!

40F outdoors with clothes.

Ice baths are several minutes.

The faster the thermotransfer, the shorter the cold shock period, obviously...

I figured that was air, like "cryo". Later:

similar effects for immersion in cold water for several minutes as well

No kidding. Must mean 4-6 minutes.
