Question 1441 Deck Safety
70% to passHow is the external flotation bladder of an immersion suit inflated?
A
It is inflated by blowing through an inflation tube.
B
It inflates by seawater bleeding into the inflation bladder and reacting with a chemical.
C
It is inflated by a small CO2 bottle that is manually tripped.
D
It is inflated by a small CO2 bottle that is automatically tripped when the front zipper is at the top of the zipper track.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) It is inflated by blowing through an inflation tube. The external flotation bladder of an immersion suit is designed to be manually inflated by the wearer through an inflation tube. This allows the wearer to control the amount of inflation and adjust the buoyancy as needed. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe how the external flotation bladder is inflated on a typical immersion suit. The bladder does not inflate automatically through a chemical reaction or CO2 bottle, but rather requires the wearer to manually inflate it.
