🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable liferaft construction and inflation system (gas bottles, valves, relief devices) • Pressure relief valves and why they might operate just after inflation • Typical causes of hissing/escaping gas sounds immediately after a raft inflates

💭 Think About

• Right after a liferaft inflates correctly, what needs to happen to the excess internal pressure if the bottle has slightly over‑charged it? • Is a brief hissing sound always a sign of damage, or can it be part of normal operation? • In an emergency, which action best supports overall safety: inspecting for tiny leaks, checking lines, or remaining calm and monitoring the raft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the relief valves on an inflatable liferaft are designed to do • Consider whether a brand‑new, just‑inflated raft is likely to have a large tear versus a controlled release of gas • Ask yourself: which option describes a normal safety feature rather than a damage‑control response?
