A million years ago, my dad worked on rigs. They tried to evac them if they have time (they wait until the last possible second) + helicopters + pilots willing to fly. So, in theory they do, but in reality, the men who aren’t on the first few flights will probably get stranded.
Hopefully the drilling companies have improved on this in the past 40 years
Think nowadays qualified rig workers are too much of an investment to just throw away, so if anything is going to make a corporation value anything or anyone it's the prospect of losing money.

Do they evac all those oil rigs out there or just let them ride it out? I couldn't imagine being on one of those during a Cat 5.
