🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic abandon-ship safety practices (protecting head, neck, and lifejacket on entry) • Windward vs. leeward side of the vessel (consider waves, smoke, fire, and drifting fuel) • Safe body position and spacing relative to others when entering the water

💭 Think About

• Think about which side of the ship is safer if there is fire, fuel, or debris on the water’s surface. • Consider how you should position your body when entering unknown water to protect yourself from injuries. • Ask yourself whether it is safer to enter alone with space or very close behind someone else in the water.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the method of entering the water protects the head, neck, and lifejacket. • Verify that the chosen side of the ship reduces exposure to flames, smoke, and oil/fuel slicks. • Confirm that the option you choose allows for safe spacing between people entering the water to avoid injury.
