Question 536 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) the loop of the sling passes behind the back and under the arms while facing the winch hook. This is the proper donning technique for a rescue sling during a SAR helicopter evacuation. The sling is designed to support the person's weight and distribute it evenly across the back and under the arms, keeping the person secure and stable during the hoist. Facing the winch hook ensures the person is properly oriented for the rescue operation. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly secure the person in the sling or orient them correctly for the rescue. Sitting in the sling (A), facing away from the winch hook (C), or stepping onto the sling (D) would not provide the necessary support and stability required during the evacuation.
