🔍 Key Concepts

• How an inflatable liferaft is designed to be righted by a single person in the water • Where the CO2 bottle and righting straps are located on a typical SOLAS liferaft • Why shifting your body weight matters more than pushing on the tubes

💭 Think About

• Which method uses the special straps provided on the bottom of the raft rather than just pushing on the side? • In rough seas with only one survivor, which choice would still be realistic and effective? • How does standing or pulling in the water let you use your full weight to rotate the raft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look for mention of bottom straps/righting straps rather than just pushing a tube • Ask whether the action could be done by one person in the water, not several people • Consider where the CO2 cylinder actually is and whether you would stand on or near it when righting the raft
