🔍 Key Concepts

• Cold water survival and how quickly body heat is lost in low temperatures • The difference between short-term and long-term survival threats in a liferaft • Typical design features of inflatable liferafts used in cold climates

💭 Think About

• Think about which danger can affect you the fastest and is most likely to be fatal in the first hours or day in high latitudes • Consider how a modern SOLAS-approved liferaft is built: what problems is it designed to reduce, and what can it NOT fully protect you from? • Compare which option is more related to comfort or long-term risk versus immediate, life‑threatening risk in very cold conditions

✅ Before You Answer

• Which condition becomes critical within minutes to a few hours in cold environments? • What features does the raft canopy and construction provide to limit some of these risks? • Ask yourself: in polar or sub‑polar waters, what do survival training courses emphasize as the number one physical danger?
