🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of a safety valve on an inflatable life raft • Normal behavior of pressure-relief devices when raft is fully inflated and exposed to sun/heat • Dangers of blocking or tampering with designed overpressure systems

💭 Think About

• What is the main job of a safety valve on an inflatable life raft: to keep air in at all costs, or to protect the raft from excessive internal pressure? • If the raft is in the water and the sun is heating it, what happens to the air inside and how might the raft automatically control that? • Which options involve interfering with the designed function of the valve versus observing and monitoring the situation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices would block or disable the safety valve’s ability to relieve excess pressure. • Consider whether the whistling sound might indicate normal venting rather than a failure. • Ask: in an emergency craft, is it safer to leave automatic safety systems operating, or to defeat them?
