🔍 Key Concepts

• Cold water immersion and hypothermia risk after abandoning ship • How insulation and trapped air in clothing affect body temperature in water • Difference between weight in water vs. on land for clothing and lifejackets

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to your body temperature when you are in cold water for a long time. What is your biggest danger? • Consider how layers of clothing interact with water and air: do they trap warmth or remove it more quickly? • Which option describes a realistic, safety-based reason that survival training encourages keeping clothing on in the water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is consistent with cold water survival training taught in basic safety courses. • Eliminate any option that contradicts what a lifejacket and layered clothing are designed to do. • Ask yourself: which effect would rescuers and safety instructors actually want you to benefit from if you had to abandon ship in cold water?
