You are in the process of righting an inflatable liferaft that has inflated in an upside down position. Which statement is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Personal flotation devices (PFDs/life preservers) and why you normally keep them on in emergencies • How an inflatable liferaft flips upright and what happens to people underneath it • Risk of entrapment or fouling under the raft versus safe ways to exit

💭 Think About

• Think about what your life preserver is doing for you while you are in the water and whether it is usually recommended to remove it in any emergency. • Visualize yourself under an upside‑down raft: when you pull on the righting lines and it comes upright, where does the raft go and where does your body want to go? • Which option best reduces the chance of being trapped or tangled while still keeping you buoyant and protected from drowning?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether standard survival training tells you to keep or remove your lifejacket in the water. • Consider which choice avoids being pinned between the raft and the water as it flips. • Check which action minimizes chances of your PFD catching on the raft’s structure or lines while you move out from under it.

You are in the process of righting an inflatable liferaft that has inflated in an upside down position. Which statement is TRUE?

You should remove your life preservers before attempting to right an inflatable raft.

Swim out from under the raft in a face up position to keep your life preservers clear of the raft.

After the raft is in the upright position on top of you, dive down to prevent your life preservers from fouling as you come out.

As the raft flips to the upright position, you will be thrown clear.
