    You're probably wondering why we decided to post this particular video for Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm. After all, there's only a few seconds of gameplay at the end of the trailer, following a puzzling interview with Sig Hansen, captain of the crustacean-hunting vessel Northwestern. Have we developed a penchant for haggard seafarers? Are we considering casting off our ties to the soil in search of clawed gold? No -- we've taken the time to post this video as something of a public service.Did you know that being swept into the ocean is the third largest cause of death in the United States, ranking right below laser tag accidents and, of course, cougars? It's sad, but true -- we urge you to watch the video above, then make your loved ones watch it. Before you set out on your next lengthy voyage, go over your procedure to reclaim your overboard man from the unforgiving jaws of Davy Jones' locker. With a bit of preparation, every oceanic excursion can be a safe oceanic excursion. Unless, somehow, a cougar gets on the boat, in which case, God help you.

    While the vast majority of reality TV refuses to make the expected leap to high-definition, the producers of the Deadliest Catch aren't letting a few camera hazards scare them off. As predicted, Discovery Channel's hit series is splashing back this April for a fourth season, and yes, it will be broadcast in HD. According to the release, this year will see quite a few "injuries dominate the crab-fishing season," and there will also be exclusive content available via the web and Discovery's mobile portal. The action starts once more on April 15th at 9:00PM ET / PT, but viewers can get brought back up to speed by catching a two-hour "Best of Season Three" recap on April 8th at 9:00PM ET / PT.
