Which knot would best serve as a safety sling in an emergency for a person working over the side?

🔍 Key Concepts

💭 Think About

• Which of these knots is specifically designed to form two secure loops that can go around a person’s body for support? • Think about which knot spreads the load over a larger area of the body rather than concentrating it in a single point or tight loop. • Which option is commonly taught and recommended as a makeshift bosun’s chair or emergency personal sling?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice is known for creating two adjustable loops suitable for a person’s body. • Check which knot is commonly associated with rescue, hoisting, or supporting a person rather than just lifting gear. • Confirm that the knot selected would not tighten dangerously around the person under load.
