🔍 Key Concepts

• Personal survival techniques when a liferaft inflates over you • How a lifejacket affects your body position in the water • Why remaining calm and controlling your body orientation is critical under a capsized raft

💭 Think About

• Think about how a lifejacket makes you float: does it naturally turn you face up or face down? How can you use that to your advantage when escaping from under the raft? • In that moment, what action will get you clear of the raft fastest and safest, without increasing your risk of drowning? • Would taking time to remove gear or waiting for others help or hurt your chances while trapped under an inflated raft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option uses your lifejacket to help keep your airway clear while you get out from under the raft. • Check which choices would delay your escape or require complex actions while you’re trapped and possibly short of air. • Eliminate any option that tells you to remove essential buoyancy gear in the water during an emergency.
