🔍 Key Concepts

• Manufacturer’s instructions for handling and recovering inflatable liferafts • How the towing bridle is designed to be used versus lifting points • Risk of damaging the raft or injuring survivors when lifting

💭 Think About

• Which parts of a liferaft are structurally designed to take a lifting load with people and equipment still inside? • What is the primary purpose of the towing bridle, and is it normally rated for vertical lifting? • If you passed lines under an inflated raft in the water, what hazards or practical problems could that create?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check how many approved lifting points an inflatable liferaft typically has for recovery • Verify the intended use of a towing bridle in liferaft manuals and training materials • Consider which method best prevents damage to the raft’s fabric and seams while lifting
