🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable liferaft righting procedures in survival manuals and placards • Function of righting straps and how they are used by a person in the water • What happens to a liferaft after inflation and whether it always inflates upright

💭 Think About

• Picture yourself in the water with the raft upside down. Which actions are actually possible and safe from the water, not from inside the raft? • Which option uses equipment that is specifically designed for righting the raft, rather than depending on luck or automatic behavior? • Think about whether pushing from underneath an overturned raft is realistic if the floor and canopy are above you.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice actually mentions righting straps, a feature provided on most inflatable liferafts for this purpose • Consider whether CO2 inflation determines the raft’s final position once it is already inverted • Check which method gives you the best mechanical leverage to roll a large, heavy raft in rough seas
