Question 210Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIf a life raft should capsize _______________.
Aclimb onto the bottom
Bswim away from the raft
Cright the raft using the righting straps
Dinflate the righting bag
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) right the raft using the righting straps. If a life raft capsizes, the proper procedure is to right the raft using the righting straps. These straps are designed to allow you to flip the raft back over to its upright position. Attempting to climb onto the bottom of the raft (A) or swimming away from the raft (B) are not the recommended actions, as that would leave you exposed in the water. Inflating the righting bag (D) is also not the correct first step, as righting the raft with the straps should be the priority.
