Question 1229 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) standing on the CO2 bottle, holding the bottom straps, and throwing your weight backwards. This is the correct answer because the weight of the person on the CO2 bottle will help to right the upside-down liferaft. Holding the bottom straps and throwing your weight backwards will also assist in flipping the raft over to its proper, upright position. This method allows you to use your own body weight and leverage to right the inflated raft. The other options are incorrect because B) getting multiple people to push down on the side is unnecessarily complex, C) simply pushing up on one side is unlikely to be enough force to right the raft, and D) the raft will not right itself automatically if inflated upside-down.
